“I was recruited by the DZ Mafia at the beginning of summer, on Snapchat. It made a group [sur la messagerie cryptée], the conversation lasted the day. It was for the same evening. I only wanted to drive. I don’t have the balls to pull the trigger. » Arrested in flagrante delicto, just a few hours after an assassination with a Kalashnikov in a city of Marseille, this young person in police custody who we will call Thomas, 22 years old, claims before the investigators the role of driver during the settling of scores. And tells them from the inside about the DZ Mafia, this Marseille narcobanditry group whose territorial rivalries with the opposing clan, called Yoda, would be unprecedented, according to the police, and responsible for 80% of the assassinations and attempts linked to narcotics in 2023 in Marseille.

On August 15, the police officers who were interested in a blue 208 as part of an investigation into other assassinations noticed that the vehicle was moving at the end of the afternoon. The car was equipped with a geolocation device and the search and intervention brigade followed it remotely to the Maison Blanche city where, although they did not visually witness the assassination, the officials heard the noise about twenty shots. They identified Thomas at the wheel and recognized the passenger – the shooter – wearing a Mickey hat. Two hours later, they arrested them almost in flagrante delicto, where the commando had retreated. Whoever was supposed to burn the car and the weapon is also arrested.

Thomas holds a CAP in cooking, he lives with his parents in a villa in a small village in Bouches-du-Rhône. Very quickly, he abandoned his job as a kitchen assistant to sell drugs in Nîmes and Campagne Lévêque, a city in Marseille and an important drug deal point. He stood out as a promising element who could move up the hierarchy. In this environment, you need a nickname: it will be « O’Connor »in reference to the film’s pilot Fast and Furious. And, on his Snapchat account, he goes by a nickname that says it all: « Sicario 13090 ».

“10,000 euros each death”

From the first moments of his custody, just a few hours after the murder, he explains how he was contacted to lead the shooter to the scene: “We had to go to the White House to resolve a problem that had happened before. In short, we’ll keep it simple. I led the person to kill the person at the White House. » This role of driver, Thomas will claim it over six other actions which took place during the summer. He also talks about his recruiter, for whom he worked in narcotics and who noted the young man’s desire to “earn even more money”. The very evening he was hired, they were « venus [le] collect from [s]es parents. (…), [il] get a gray 308 GTI and off you go (…). The passenger gets out and pulls, he gets back in the car (…). It is [s]The first action for the DZ. That evening, there was just one injured. »
