Coming from a well-known family of traders from Balagne, this owner of a restaurant in Calvi was allegedly shot dead at the wheel of his car, while he was parking at the entrance to the village of Calenzana, reports France 3.
Still according to our colleagues, it was the neighbors, alerted by the detonations, who called the police. Many bullet holes were noted by investigators.
The research section of the Corsican gendarmerie and the judicial police of the interdepartmental direction of the national police of Haute-Corse were joined to carry out the first investigations.
