The DZ Mafia worries the authorities, even beyond our borders “indicates our correspondent Paul Géli. The major exceptional report devoted to this French drug cartel is broadcast this Thursday, November 21 in the 8 p.m. news on TF1 while on Monday, investigators from the Marseille judicial police, supported by police officers from the National Drug Unit Investigation (UIN), carried out a vast operation against the DZ Mafia.

We discover how this sprawling criminal organization undertakes to develop, by diversifying its income and making its “brand” known. For example by engraving the letters “DZ” on the skin of one of his victims left for dead. Or by shooting a heavy weapon in a Marseille grocery store, before setting it on fire, to extract money from the traders. Even celebrities are now among the targets of his claimed extortion attempts: in August, the rapper SCH, in concert at La Grande-Motte, saw his team come under fire, killing one of his relatives, as they left of the room.
