Update on Arrests in Fayed Murder Case: Press Conference by Marseille Public Prosecutor

In the murder case of little Fayed, killed in Nîmes on the night of August 21, a series of arrests have been carried out since November 13 in Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône. Nicolas Bessone, the public prosecutor of Marseille is organizing a press conference this Saturday.

Almost a week after the wave of arrests carried out in Gard and Bouches du Rhône as part of the investigation into the shooting death of 10-year-old Fayed, killed on the night of August 21 in Nîmes, Nicolas Bessone, the public prosecutor of Marseille, revealed the details of the case this Saturday morning after around ten people were arrested and placed in police custody following a vast search carried out by the judicial police.

Since Sunday November 12, Monday November 13 and Tuesday November 14, the PJ of Montpellier, reinforced by units of the BRI of Paris and Montpellier, arrested around ten suspects involved directly or indirectly in the death of this collateral victim of a settling of scores which occurred in Pissevin on the night of August 21, 2023.

Little Fayed was killed in Pissevin when his uncle came to drop him off at his home after being caught under fire from a commando attacking a deal point. According to the investigation, around sixty cartridge cases were found by the scientific police. This demonstrates the extreme violence of the shooting and the intensity of the shooting which took place against a backdrop of war between gangs competing for the drug market. Two cars had been identified as having been used in the attack on the deal point. Since the events which had provoked national emotion leading even to a trip by the Minister of the Interior, the territorial direction of the judicial police of Montpellier put in place considerable means of investigation since at the height of the investigation, more 60 police officers were mobilized.

Several groups from the criminal brigade (BRI), the research and intervention brigade, the branches of the Nîmes judicial police, the Raid, worked to track down the perpetrators of the fatal shooting and other men suspected of having participated in a second attack in Pissevin, barely three days after the death of little Fayed. An 18-year-old man lost his life in the shooting after a new attack by a commando at a drug sales outlet.

The different clans compete for the cam market

It has been around four years since the different Nîmes narco-banditry clans have been fighting over the drug market and attacking each other between the districts of the different ZUPs in Nîmes. Among the main deal points, we find Pissevin and in particular the surroundings of the Wagner gallery, Valdegour, the Chemin Bas d’Avignon and the Mas de Mingue. Today, according to several sources, the Mas de Mingue is in a position of conquest and very offensive. Drug traffickers from Marseille are also believed to be involved in narco-banditry in Nîmes.

The highest level of banditry, case handled by Marseille judges

The two murder cases were entrusted to the specialized interregional jurisdiction (Jirs) of Marseille. It is in this context that Nicolas Bessone is preparing this Saturday morning to give a press conference at the Marseille courthouse.
