A 15-year-old was the victim of a violent kidnapping in the middle of the street in the 14th arrondissement of the Marseille city. The young man, forced into a car by several threatening individuals, was saved by BAC agents who were chasing them.
Injured in the face by his attackers, he was taken to hospital. In Marseille, kidnapping attempts in the context of drug trafficking are not uncommon, with traffickers using this practice to intimidate their rivals and sometimes members of their own organization.
