A day of celebration, transformed into a nightmare.
Wedding in shock, the armed group: the reconstruction of the event
The newlyweds were leaving the party, perhaps still with the adrenaline pumping, when the armed group formed by four assailants arrived on board a Golf 8 and opened fire. The scene is dramatic: to escape, the groom reversed, knocking over one of the attackers. No leads have been ruled out yet, but initial reconstructions speak of a settling of scores, perhaps linked to drug trafficking. The groom, a member of the local Moroccan community, was already known to the police for criminal association and drug-related crimes. In this drama, victims, guilt and a past that comes back to the surface in a violent way are mixed up, breaking up a party that should have celebrated life.
