Why It Matters
The triple assassination of December 2020 is considered a turning point marking the start of increased violence linked to narcobanditism in Marseille.
The prosecution is calling for “exemplary sentences” in the face of the “savagery” of this narchomicide which cost the lives in particularly bloody conditions in December 2020 of Reda Khaldi, Nassim Loubani and Brahim Chabane, the older brother of the activist against drug trafficking and deputy mayor Amine Kessaci.
At the end of an indictment lasting almost five hours, the attorneys general of the special Assize Court of Bouches-du-Rhône requested a life sentence accompanied by a security sentence of 22 years, the maximum sentence, for four of the five accused who appear in this triple assassination considered to be the beginnings of the Mexicanization of Marseille narcobanditism.
