“We are losing the war against traffickers in Marseille,” believes the head of the organized crime unit of the Marseille prosecutor’s office. “The State seems to be waging an asymmetrical war against narco-banditry but finds itself weakened in the face of very equipped organized gangs,” warns the president of Marseille judicial court.

Magistrates still deplore a cruel lack of human resources, according to them, to deal with the 499 cases relating to organized crime.
