A police officer was injured during the arrest of a drug seller in Marseille. The brother of the accused tried to intervene by surrounding the officer.
The city of Castellas, in the northern districts of Marseille, is known for hosting a deal point. In April 2023, three deadly shootings broke out on the same night in a bloody series of score-settlings in the city of La Paternelle, which is in fact a neighboring city. The first occurred in Castell as, a city identified as being a point of tension between several enemy bands.
