Ullmo business

The Affaire Ullmo is a scandal which, between the Affaire Dreyfus and the Guerre of 1914, defrayed the chronicle in the whole France and out of the borders. It leads in 1908 to the restriction of the trade of the Opium in France.

Sometimes regarded wrongly as being with semi way between the Dreyfus business and that of Subdued Hari, it lost any national dramatic intensity quickly to be reduced an individual drama registered in the one time manners.

Young naval officer to Toulon, Charles Benjamin Ullmo had subtilized the confidential codes of the signals of Royal the and had tried monnayer their restitution while threatening to deliver them to Germany. Decree and continued for attempt at treason, this smoker of Opium based its defense on the deterioration of its personality by the Drogue.

Condemned to military degradation and perpetual detention, Ullmo will pass two thirds of its life to the Bagne of the islands of the Hello where it occupies the box of Dreyfus to the Devil's Island.

The considerable repercussion of this business contributed to develop the idea that the use of drug by the officers constituted a problem of national defense.
