In this video, published on social networks, a man dressed in black surrounded by around fifteen men dressed similarly speaks in front of a lectern covered with a white sheet bearing the words “DZ Mafia”.
With his voice changed, he “refutes the involvement of this organization in the assassinations of a 15-year-old teenager and a VTC driver perpetrated between October 2 and 4, 2024 in Marseille”, indicates the Marseille prosecutor’s office in a press release.
On this video, an investigation was opened for “criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing crimes and offenses relating to organized crime”.
It now remains to authenticate these images and identify the people who are behind them. The investigations were entrusted to the judicial police and the Anti-Cybercrime Office (Ofac) based in the Paris region.
This type of communication, unprecedented in the world of drug banditry, was until now more common in terrorist circles. The format is notably reminiscent of the communication of the clandestine movement of the Corsican National Liberation Front, with the difference that the men of the FLNC appear armed.
Since January, 17 people have died in Marseille in narchomicides. Last year, France’s second city experienced a bloodbath with 49 deaths, most of them linked to a conflict between the DZ Mafia and its Yoda competitors. Among them, seven minors lost their lives, according to the prosecution.
