On 13 November 2025, unidentified perpetrators shot and killed Mehdi Kessaci, the brother of local anti-mafia figure and environmental activist Amine Kessaci, in the streets of Marseille (Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur). While the investigations were in their early stages at the time of reporting, authorities suspected that the attack was planned by Amine O., one of the leading figures of the DZ Mafia group, a powerful drug trafficking network in Marseille. Police were investigating whether the act was meant to intimidate Amine Kessaci, or if the perpetrators mistook Mehdi Kessaci for his brother.
