End of the run for Ahcen M. This Marseille drug trafficker, suspected of being involved in a fatal settling of accounts in 2019 in Marseille, was arrested on an island off the coast of Colombia, said on Saturday the Central Office for the fight against organized crime.
On March 12, 2019, Kamel Rahra, 42, was killed, and his 44-year-old brother, Fateh, seriously injured, in their car riddled with assault rifle fire, at the Cité de la Busserine in the northern neighborhoods of Marseille, in a settling of accounts.
Picked from a paradise island
After the facts, the PJ of Marseille had identified as the presumed perpetrator of the homicide Ahcen M., now 34 years old, who had already fled. "He was both the subject of an international arrest warrant issued as part of the investigation for settling scores and criminal association, as well as another for drug trafficking", explained Guillaume Maniglier, Deputy of the Central Office for the Fight against Organized Crime (OCLCO), co-responsible for the Marseille investigation.
An Interpol red notice had also been issued against the suspect, sentenced in 2021 by default to ten years in prison for drug trafficking.
The investigation showed "thanks to the telephony of his entourage" that the suspect was on the run in Colombia "circulating with false papers".
He was arrested on the tourist island of San Andres off the coast of Colombia on October 13 by Colombian police, as he was leaving a hotel.
He is imprisoned in Colombia awaiting extradition.
