Hundreds of people went to the Mediterranean mosque in Marseille this Tuesday to say goodbye to Nessim Ramdanecollateral victim of a reckoning linked to drug trafficking. The 36-year-old man worked as a VTC driver (transport vehicles with drivers) and was shot dead last Friday by a 14-year-old hitman who took over his vehicle to fulfill a contract in Marseille, France.
“He had nothing to do with all this vulgarity and barbarity,” said Ali Benattia, 72, who introduced himself as the uncle of the deceased.
Supposedly, the attacker had been recruited online by members of a Marseille drug trafficking network in exchange for pay of 50,000 euros to assassinate members of a rival cartel. On the night of the crime, along with another minor, they would have asked the driver to leave them and wait for them while they carried out their macabre mission, but Ramdane refused, at which point the hitman fatally shot him in the back of the headwith a 357 Magnum revolver, they collect local media.
Passionate about football and father of three childrenRamdane is described by his relatives as a hard-working man willing to sacrifice himself for the well-being of his family. It was also a emblematic figure of local footballsince he wore the jerseys of numerous clubs in the region during his amateur career and coached the children of the Saint-Zacharie club, where he lived with his family, explains his uncle.
