Nicolas Septe

Nicolas Septe is the procureur de la République, or public prosecutor, of Ajaccio, Corsica. He is newsworthy due to his involvement in two recent high-profile cases on the island. First, he is overseeing the investigation into the "criminal" explosion that destroyed a secondary residence near the Hotel La Marinca in Olmeto on March 30, 2026. Septe detailed that the incident occurred around 9:45 PM and prompted an investigation for destruction by dangerous means, entrusted to the Sartène research brigade and the Ajaccio research section. Second, Septe's office is also investigating the assassination of Alain Orsoni, a former Corsican separatist leader, who was shot dead while attending his mother's funeral. Orsoni's killing is being investigated by organized crime prosecutors, highlighting the seriousness and potential complexity of the case. Septe's role as the public prosecutor places him at the center of these significant criminal investigations in Corsica.
