It's an incredible affair which has only just begun, since the kidnappers are on the run: all the action is underway, this Friday, November 15, 2024 at 8:15 p.m., when a Montpellier resident alerts emergency police indicating that his brother has just been kidnapped and that the kidnappers are demanding a ransom of €200,000 to the family. There Montpellier judicial police immediately proceeds to his hearing and transmits all the information to their colleagues at the Organized and Specialized Crime Division -DCOS- in Marseille.

According to the national site Actu 17 which reveals the information this Saturday, confirmed at Metropolitan by a police source, the Montpellier received via Snapchat the photo of his brother with the barrel of a handgun in his mouth. He was indeed sequestered in a city in Marseille. But where? Quickly launched searches made it possible to locate the car of the brother of the Montpellier resident during the night, empty, parked at the foot of an HLM bar in the Félix Pyat city, in the 3rd arrondissement.

While PJ police officers were on site, in the company of the anti-crime brigade -Bac- a resident informed them around 1:30 a.m. of a attempted intrusion into his apartment in the sector. Clearly, a stranger claiming to be in danger wanted the door to be opened for him and, suspicious, she preferred to call 17. Taken into custody, he explained that he had just escaped from kidnappers who had kidnapped and tied him up. and sequestered in a neighborhood accommodation.

Aged 22, it turned out to be the brother of the Montpellier man who had received the ransom demand. But investigations established that he was not the only one to have been kidnapped, but that two other victims aged 23 and 27 had suffered the same fate. And that the trio had managed to escape the kidnappers. These two twenty-somethings, friends of the Montpellier brother, were found this Saturday around 5:30 a.m., wandering in a square in the 5th arrondissement of the Marseille city. They confirmed their friend's story.

Drug trafficking?

What happened then? Three young men kidnapped in still undetermined circumstances – where? how? – and with a motive unknown for the moment and found miraculously alive, without payment of the demanded ransom who are currently being heard at length by the DCOS of the PJ to recount this incredible affair, just to remove gray areas. The details of the location of the kidnapping – cited Félix Pyat – seem to direct the police to a triple kidnapping with kidnappings linked to a drug trafficking between drug traffickers. To be continued.
