Dealing a hard blow to banditry

With 49 deaths in 2023, for more than a year, the Marseillais have been suffering a bloody war between two gangs. No neighborhood was spared, including the city of La Paternelle, which became the epicenter of clashes between the gangs. More than 70% of the settling of scores in the Phocaean city are linked to this war. With this arrest of the head of one of the most powerful trafficking networks, the authorities hope to deal a hard blow to the world of banditry.
