In Corsica, the fatal shootings at the Le Lamparo bar, just before Christmas, aroused great emotion. The “track of a private dispute between the author of the shots and the victim” is favored, the prosecutor indicated on Tuesday. Six people were also injured.
Many businesses in the center of Ajaccio had lowered their curtains for 48 hours. They will do the same on Saturday during the funeral of the young firefighter celebrated in Ajaccio Cathedral.
“Aiacciu (Ajaccio in the Corsican language) and Corsica mourn one of their children, whose life was cut short, and several seriously injured. The time has come for mourning. There will necessarily come that of collective reflection to put an end to this madness,” Gilles Simeoni, president of the Corsican community, wrote on Tuesday on X.
Already convicted in 2016
The accused is already known to the courts. In June 2016, he appeared before the Bouches-du-Rhône Assize Court, in Aix-en-Provence, which sentenced him to 30 months in prison for receiving a vehicle and acquitted him of criminal association in the trial of the assassination of Yves Manunta, killed on July 9, 2012 in Ajaccio.
Tried alongside him, Nizzar Feddaoui was sentenced to 15 years of criminal imprisonment for criminal conspiracy and for the arson by an organized gang of the vehicle used by the perpetrators of the assassination.
“Le Lamparo” was closed for two months by prefectural order due to “the repetition of serious criminal acts within a short period of time” but also due to the “significant risk of recurrence”.
