André Cermolacce, known as “big dedé” and figure of banditry, shot in Marseille


He is one of the figures of organized crime in Marseille. André Cermolacce, known as “Big Dédé”, has just been shot this Tuesday noon in the 14th arrondissement of the Marseille city. The 70 -year -old man was targeted by three balls with an automatic pistol. The suspect, hooded, moved to scooter and fled. A flagrance survey was opened for homicide by the Marseille prosecution and entrusted to the criminal brigade.

According to concordant sources, André Cermolacce may have been the target of drug traffickers belonging to the rising generation of Marseille thug embodied by ultra -violent criminal groups. In recent weeks, the information according to which this new generation of caïds sought to attack the old thugs having difficulty withdrawing from the affairs had risen to the judicial police. Investigators will not fail to take an interest in the DZ Mafia track, this criminal organization with a hegemonic power which recently approached the said clan of Marignane, in conflict with some relatives of André Cermolacce.

“Big Dédé” had already escaped an assassination attempt, as we wrote in a former article published in 2010. He had appeared alongside seven other people suspected of having taken part, in 2005, in a network of Bingo -type slot machines, placed in twenty Marseille bars. According to the police cited by France 3 Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur in 2016, each machine would have reported between 9,000 and 11,000 euros per month.

Repeatedly

As soon as he left prison, in September 2006, he was among the participants of meetings taking place in a brewery in the Catalans district, considered by the investigators as the “seat” of this alleged network. As France 3 reports again in another article, he was sentenced to 30 months in prison, 24 of which were suspended and a fine of 10,000 euros in this case of slot machines, in particular for association of criminals.

Already convicted seven times at the time of this trial, André Cermolacce had then had to justify his lifestyle: a villa with cassis swimming pool for 2,400 euros, high -end household appliances or many vehicle rentals, as reported by the cross in 2016.
