The Maghrebi mafia have had a lasting effect on organized crime in France. They chased the Corsicans out of Paris, and are now doing the same in Marseille. They have taken over drug trafficking, pimping, illegal gambling, and more. From Barbès to Pigalle, these new formidable gangsters set up shop in Paris little by little: first, prostitution in no-tell motels, until they became masters of the streets. Then came drug trafficking, and the robberies: in Belleville, Arab bandits baffled the “Wigs Gang,” the hold-up kings with their raids on banks in the 1980s. Those who weren’t yet called beurs are famed for the most audacious crimes of the last forty years. This era saw the rise of a major figure in French crime, “the Great Momo,” who reveals in these pages how he conquered the Parisian milieu and organized the greatest robberies of his time. We also meet the gang of “Saucissonneurs”, all Kabylians who attacked the Who’s Who of rich families by surprising them in their homes and tying them up in order to relieve them of their jewels and cash. We also learn about the rise of the intriguing Ahmed “Alexandre” Djouhri, who helped settle accounts to become a “facilitator” and intermediary for top politicians, as well as Boualem Tata, bodyguard for Jamel Debbouze, who was murdered at just thirty years old, just as he was becoming known as a rising genius in the Paris scene. And many more. This work is based on numerous police reports, criminal records, and exclusive testimonies from gangsters, informers, lawyers, and police officers who lived through the period covered, many speaking about it for the first time. A little-known history and saga that extends over almost fifty years.
