Drug Trafficking and Turf Wars: Marseille Gangs vs. “Gypsies” and “Blacks”

2023-10-27 19:19:00

Kamel N. has long held the head of the cartel in “La Maurelette”, another district of the Marseille city. Between 2015 and 2018, he allegedly joined forces with the “Blacks” and led a bloody turf war with this clan once morest the “Gypsies,” another gang active in drug trafficking.

Kamel N. would have had a virtual monopoly on drug and cocaine trafficking in Marseille during this period. The man had been on the run for several years but would have continued to manage his drug trafficking network remotely. His identification was made difficult, because he was not only in possession of false identity documents but also because he had had recourse to cosmetic surgery.

Business is booming in Bassens, one of the two towns most often referred to, along with Castellane, as one of the local drug supermarkets.

It is from this poor city in the 13th arrondissement of Marseille that the Ahamada brothers, better known as the “Black clan”, come. An infamous brotherhood in the Marseille city, and for good reason, for 10 years, their name has been associated with drug trafficking and score-settling.

In Marseille, three deaths amid drug trafficking and “vendetta”

The war between the “Gypsies” gang and the “Blacks” gang would be the cause of more than twenty deaths and as many injured. Yet they grew up together, attended the same school classes and played dozens of football games.

Brothers François and Nicolas Bengler came into conflict with several members of the Ahamada family, of Comorian origin. Their opposition marked the beginning of this endless series of score-settling that Marseille experienced.

The fact that Kamel N. took refuge in Brussels is undoubtedly not a coincidence. Criminal gangs from Marseille have taken over Belgium. Drug flows are increasingly directed from the Marseille city using barbaric methods which are transposed to our country.

In June, a 33-year-old Algerian who sold drugs in the city of Peterbos was tortured and beaten to death because he was operating in the territory of a rival gang. His body was found by a jogger behind block 1. A suspect turned himself in to the police. This execution is to be linked to the Marseille environment.

“We are no longer dealing with artisanal traffickers but with organized networks whose strings are pulled from Marseille,” a well-informed source explained to DH. “The Marseille mafia will thus control the flow of drugs flowing into Belgium as well as the way in which the deal is organized. They act with a much more radical use of violence.”

From now on, no one within the police disputes the fact that the Marseille community has taken control of popular cities and neighborhoods like Peterbos or Clemenceau, with ever more violent settling of scores. “This has resulted in increasingly fierce turf wars. The struggles for juicy market shares will take place on a much broader scale,” added our interlocutor.
