Marseille: magistrates sound the alarm to save the city from drug trafficking. "We are losing the war against traffickers in Marseille," said Isabelle Fort, head of the "organized crime" from the Marseille prosecutor's office.
The year 2023 was the bloodiest with 49 people killed, including four collateral victims, and 123 injured in the turf war between rival gangs. In Marseille, 20% of jurisdictional activity is linked to drug trafficking, compared to 9% at the national level.
