Three Marseille traffickers are on trial this week for the kidnapping of a pizzeria manager. They deny being the occupants of a vehicle that cut off the road of the manager of the pizzeria in the town of Barriol.
The case symbolizes, for the prosecution, the ramifications of Marseille drug banditry in medium-sized towns that have long been spared. The pizza maker was forced to sell his business a few months later, after his captors forced him to leave the city.
