A French fugitive wanted for attempted murder is believed to be hiding in Morocco
Adel B., 25, has once again narrowly escaped death. On the evening of June 22, he was reportedly targeted in a shooting in Garges-lès-Gonesse, a suburb of Paris, that left three people injured. This marks the fourth assassination attempt on his life in just three years.
According to initial findings, Adel and several members of his family have been repeatedly targeted by a network of contract killers, allegedly acting on orders from «Mareko Scarla», a 23-year-old French inmate known to authorities for his role in organized crime and drug trafficking.
However, investigators are now focusing on another suspect: Akim A., also known as «Kimo». Believed to be the mastermind behind the latest attack, the 25-year-old is reportedly on the run in Morocco, according to French judicial sources. An international arrest warrant has been issued for him, Le Parisien reports.
The attacks appear to be part of a long-running feud between rival families that has escalated into a deadly cycle of revenge. Adel's brother and stepfather have already been killed in similar assaults. Several suspects have been indicted, particularly for murder as part of an organized gang.
French authorities are also investigating potential accomplices, including those behind bars. Despite being held in solitary confinement, Mareko is believed to have continued directing criminal operations from his cell. A mobile phone was recently discovered in his possession.
