After that, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin commented: ""The judicial investigations are underway, but it seems fairly obvious that the war of territories to recover lucrative (drug) dealing points is probably one of the reasons for these armed attacks."

He also added: "Beyond this despicable incident, over the last ten years, deaths by settling accounts have been halved in Marseille and I encourage the national police to continue their work to impose the republican rule over drug traffickers."
