Felix Bingui, a suspected drug trafficker and head of the Yoda clan, was extradited from Morocco to France and faced charges for drug trafficking and money laundering. His gang was linked to a high number of drug-related assassinations in Marseille, intensifying the city's ongoing gang wars. The French government views his extradition as a breakthrough in combating organized drug crime, alongside an increase in police presence to combat violence and drug-related issues, highlighted by President Macron's intervention in the Marseille region.
Felix Bingui, known as the Cat and reportedly head of the notorious Yoda clan, was arrested in Casablanca last March and extradited to France.
The Yoda clan was directly linked to 35 of 49 drug-related assassinations in Marseille in 2023, reflecting the escalating violence in the city's drug wars.
Felix Bingui's arrest is heralded by France's justice minister as a significant victory against narco-crime, emphasizing the government's tougher stance on drug trafficking.
Bingui's case comes amid a broader effort to combat drug-related violence, with President Macron mobilizing 4,000 police for a crackdown in Marseille.
