Confessions of a Marseilles Mob Boss

This document is unique! It was written by the hand of a mob boss, on simple sheets of paper, between 2022 and 2023. For the first time, a Marseilles Tony Montana lifts the veil on the northern neighborhoods, the shootouts at the foot of the towers and the thousands of drug users who flock there every day. From his Algerian childhood to his run-ins with the law, via his career as a lookout, a drug dealer... and a dad, the man who calls himself Amin Kacem throws us into the world of Scarface. With his vivid, unvarnished pen, the mob boss tells of violence, danger, injustice, greed and the will to live. More than a story about a man and drugs, for the author, this book is a testament. Above all, it s a terrible response to those who are surprised that entire neighborhoods are collapsing; it s a thunderclap that will give pause to young people dreaming of a career as super-dealers; and it s a merciless challenge to the politicians who, for a long time, could have, and therefore should have, prevented the current tragedies and imminent catastrophe. Amin Kacem is currently being held in a prison in the south of France. Daniel Barrionuevo, his lawyer, practices at the Aix-en-Provence bar.
