Activist Amin Kesasi suffers another serious setback. His younger brother is 20 years old Died on Thursday after being shot multiple times after Marseille shootings (France). This is the second murder in his family after his own. … Another brother was born in 2020.
event It happened around 2:30 p.m. According to La Provence, a motorbike pulled up next to the victim’s newly parked car in front of a pharmacy in the 4th arrondissement of Marseille, and he shot the victim, who was still inside, suffering three gunshot wounds to the chest and one to the hand. Emergency services tried to resuscitate him, but the young man was already in cardiac arrest. French city prosecutor Nicolas Besson later reported that a 9mm shell casing was recovered at the scene.
The activities of 22-year-old Amin Kessassi are well known in Marseille. He was a candidate for Los Ecologistas in the 2024 European elections. He is also the president of the Society of Conscience, which supports relatives of victims of drug trafficking. He founded the community after his brother was murdered and his body charred in 2020. Kesasi has been in permanent police custody for the past month due to threats he received after publishing a book a few weeks ago about the influence of drug trafficking and human traffickers in Marseille’s remote areas.
authorities They have already started an investigation to find out the facts. However, a motorbike has already been found burnt out in Marseille’s 13th arrondissement. Amin’s brother had no police background, but in fact, as Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan himself admitted in an interview with BFMTV, he wanted to be part of the corps and was preparing for it.
At this stage of the investigation Two hypotheses are possible: Was the incident a blackmail operation, or did the attacker make a mistake in identifying the target?
Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessonne told Franceinfo that the possibility of an assassination aimed at warning key targets “has not been ruled out at all at this point.” “If that’s the case, we would have crossed an even lower line. “This is reminiscent of a series of horrific times in our country when people were murdered simply because they were members of troubled families,” the judge said.
