Investigation Considered one of the bosses of the criminal clan which controls drug trafficking in Marseille, Mehdi Laribi is a child from the northern districts, who secretly became an actor before being convicted for having participated in three murders.

Those around him have always called him “Tic”, the abbreviation of his nickname “Rachitique”. “Tic” has long been inseparable from his brother Lamine, a year older, nicknamed “Tac”. “Tick” and “Tac”. We’ve had scarier nicknames, but don’t be fooled. Since “Tac” has been in prison for a long sentence, the nickname “Tic” no longer makes anyone laugh, even if he is far away, probably in Algeria. In the northern districts of Marseille, no one mentions “Tic”, alias Mehdi Abdelatif Laribi, without trembling or lowering their voice, or both.

At 34, the youngest of the Laribi would be one of the leaders of the DZ Mafia, this clan which terrifies Marseille today and one of whose customs consists of celebrating each million euros with fireworks. earned through drug trafficking. Responsible for three quarters of the 49 “narchomicides” which bloodied the city in 2023, a record year, the DZ would be at the origin of most of the 17 deaths recorded since January 2024.
