The investigation into the killing of Mehdi Kessaci, a young man of Algerian descent murdered in Marseille on November 13, 2025, has progressed with the detention of a new suspect. The individual is accused of providing logistical support to the perpetrators. The 20-year-old victim had no criminal record, fueling theories that he was killed in a case of mistaken identity meant for his brother, Amine Kessaci, an anti-narcotics activist. Meanwhile, a trial has begun at the Aix-en-Provence Assize Court regarding the 2020 murder of Brahim, the half-brother of Amine Kessaci, who was also a victim of drug-related violence.
