During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, an attack took place in the lobby of a building on rue des Amandiers, located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. According to our information, a 47-year-old gangster figure in the capital was beaten to death by two strangers, confirming those of Paris Match.
According to the Paris prosecutor's office, the victim's name is Mounir C. was known to the courts as an active bandit in the Cité de la Banane, a hotbed of drug trafficking in the 20th arrondissement. The prosecution has referred a murder investigation to the criminal brigade.
Mounir C. was sentenced in December 2000 to ten years in prison for complicity in murder and complicity in attempted murder after a shooting in the same district of Amandiers (20th century). He was retried on appeal in 2002, after contesting the charges against him, and was ultimately sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Despite the intervention of the Paris firefighters, the victim died following a cardio-respiratory arrest. According to a source close to the case, the attack, which occurred around midnight, was partially filmed by a witness who subsequently contacted the police. The perpetrators of this murder were still on the run this Wednesday morning.
Arriving on site after a witness told them of an attack on a public highway, the police initially noticed nothing. But thirty minutes later, the firefighters were called in. Despite the intervention of emergency services, the victim was declared dead around 1 a.m.
