The two figures of Marseille's drug-trafficking scene, Amine Oualane and Karim Harrat, are accused of masterminding the crimes. For the fifth defendant, the prosecution requested a 25-year prison sentence with a two-thirds minimum term. The prosecution relied on DNA evidence, wiretaps, and a conversation from the encrypted messaging service Sky ECC. The verdict is not expected before November 13, the first anniversary of the death of Mehdi Kessaci, Amine's second brother to be killed.Content auto-generated. May contain inaccuracies.
