A video which surprised the Marseille investigators and which, if it were to be authenticated, would be a first in the history of drug trafficking in France.
Appearing during the night from Wednesday to Thursday on the networks, we see around ten people, all dressed in black, one of whom is reading a text denying the involvement of the DZ Mafia in the latest series of murders in Marseille.
A method usually reserved for political criminal organizations or South American cartels, which does not “surprise” Emile Diaz, known as Milou, a former member of the French Connection who spent a little over seventeen years behind bars. He answers our questions.
Individuals claiming to be part of the DZ Mafia have published a video denying their involvement in the latest series of murders in Marseille. What do you think of this?
This doesn’t surprise me since these are people who operate on instinct. And there, they understood that we talked too much about them, and when we talk too much about a team, it begins to collapse and feels the end coming. I experienced this with the Belgian or Zampa (editor’s note: two former “godfathers” from Marseille) who collapsed when their names began to circulate among the general public.
And they feel that, and also know that the new government will want to mark the occasion and that they are the targets.
Funny method to try to be forgotten…
They try to defend themselves in this way, by denying, by saying these are not their methods, and essentially saying: “We are just a normal team. » But it’s too late and I don’t think it will work for them. They are in the funnel and the damage is done. You can’t stop people from talking. And the police put together files on them.
A press release, a public speech, had you considered this type of thing when you were active?
No. In my time, we would never have thought of doing that. But we had one advantage: that of being around politicians and knowing how to talk to them.
We are talking about the Mexicanization of Marseille all the way to the United States and the cartelization of the Marseille networks, which is not false. These people are not ready to share. When a new team arrives, it’s straight to war: either you work for them or you’re killed.
I understood that things had changed, particularly in my last prison, where cell phones were starting to arrive, and I saw guys managing their affairs from the cell. We have had wars, but they stopped at the prison gate.
