A man who runs in the middle of the street and pursues his future victim on the sidewalk, assault rifle in hand: he is a hitman from the main Marseille clan, the DZ mafia. According to the police, his name is Mattéo F. At that time, he was only 18 years old. He brags on social media. Barely out of adolescence, he became a suspected murderer for a few thousand euros.
His first victim would be a 23-year-old man. That evening, he had a meeting in a car with Mattéo F. and an alleged accomplice. The trap closes. In the front seat, Matéo takes out his gun and shoots twice. He abandoned the car in a parking lot where he allegedly burned the body before posting a video on social media.
