Investigation on the new delinquency | TF1 | Le Droit de savoir

On September 27, 2000, Francis The Belgian”, the historic Marseilles godfather was assassinated right in the heart of Paris. His death, even more than a symbol, was a page turned in the history of the criminal underworld. For organized crime has evolved, has adapted. The gangsters of the old school, such as the “Borsalino types” and all the mythology accompanying it, is finished. The morality of the old godfathers no longer exists, modern methods and new bosses have taken its place. Gangs from the suburbs, gypsy clans who have become sedentary, hermetic and almost impenetrable, or motorcycle gangs on their Harleys now kill each other. These young “wolves”, lawless and without honor, want only one thing, to get power fast. In other words, desperadoes ready to do anything to get their place in the sun in the world of organized crime. Ultra-violent and without respect for the rites and code of honor of the underworld. There are the new “stars” of the organized crime, the “Who’s Who” of the underworld. The Criminal Repression Squad (BRB) knows them well: the criminals have been involved in a war without mercy against each other for the control of illegal activities (slot machines, hold-ups, cocaine, prostitution, racket S). Hold-ups of armored vans, gypsy gangs, motorcycle gangs: our cameras lift the veil off the new gangsters.”
