A minor will be presented to a judge, 12 alleged members still in police custody. The arrests took place in Marseille, as well as in Rennes (one) and in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
The operation comes a few days after the arrest in Morocco of Félix Bingui, 33, alleged leader of the Yoda clan, rival of the DZ mafia. Last year, 49 people were killed, including four collateral victims, and 123 injured in violence linked to drug trafficking.
