Threats to be taken very seriously.
This Saturday, February 10 in Aix-en-Provence, two young men saw the door of their apartment being set on fire by threatening individuals, who could be their own
“employers”
operating on a deal point in the Encagnane district.
The events occurred in the early evening, shortly before 9 p.m.
According to consistent police sources, two masked individuals presented themselves at the door of the victims' apartment located at Square Joseph-Charles Mardrus, pouring an
“inflammable liquid”
into it before setting it on fire.
The two victims quickly left the scene through the window of their accommodation located on the 1st floor of the building before taking refuge with a neighbor.
In conflict with the DZ Mafia
Warned, the police went to the site to observe the incident.
The two victims, born in 2008 and probably from the same siblings, told the police that they recognized the perpetrators of the fire.
According to their testimony, it was two individuals who had been threatening them for several days in order to force them to return to work on a ZUP deal point.
The two young men would refuse to return there after having been hired as
“jobbers”
, named after these little hands recruited by drug traffickers to sell or act as lookouts.
One of the two minors, already known to the police according to a source, also declared
“being in conflict with the
DZ Mafia
”
, a
“rival”
gang of his bosses.
On site, the police found a jerrycan and a bottle which had most likely been used to set the apartment door on fire.
An investigation was opened and entrusted to the interdepartmental service of the Bouches-du-Rhône judicial police (SIPJ).
