Farid Tir

Farid Tir was murdered in 2019, and his death is central to an ongoing trial in Aix-en-Provence involving six alleged members of the DZ Mafia. The trial, which began in late March 2026, focuses on a double homicide, with Tir and one of his associates as the victims. Gabriel Ory (aka "Gaby") and Amine Oualane (aka "Mamine"), identified as key figures within the DZ Mafia, are among the accused. The trial has been marked by tension and disruption, with some defendants refusing to appear in court. The case highlights the ongoing issue of organized crime and drug-related violence in Marseille. The trial also coincides with discussions about new laws aimed at encouraging criminals to become informants in exchange for reduced sentences and protection.
