Car thefts, burglaries, extortions… Ukrainian mafia raid on the Côte d’Azur

In the summer of 2023, a surprising call arrives in the offices of the Marseille research section. On the other end of the line, the police… from kyiv (Ukraine). Despite the war against Russia, the Ukrainian police continue their fight against the mafia, very well established in their country. And this July, they have sensitive information to pass on to the French gendarmes.

A few weeks after the start of the war in Ukraine triggered by the Russian invasion, several members of a Ukrainian mafia criminal organization are said to have settled on the French Riviera. The criminals are described by Ukrainian police as pro-Russians from the Kharkiv region, a large city located near the front. In Ukraine, these criminals were members of a well-established mafia group identified by several European police forces: the Zaliuntynski.
