UK/Frankreich. First the UK, now France: is needle-spiking spreading in European clubs?

Fear of needle-spiking is growing among clubbers in France, a few months after a wave of similar anxiety swept the UK. 

There have been more than 100 reports of needle-spiking in French clubs and bars since summer 2021. 

Needle-spiking involves the victim being injected against their will. Much like drink spiking, there have been reports of people being injected with Rohypnol or Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) – both known to be used as date-rape drugs. (euronews.culture, Frankreich, 13.05.2022)
