An attempt with a bloody response

The events date back to Tuesday, July 18, 2023. During that summer afternoon, a individual appeared with a UZI submachine gun on the United Nations Avenue in Puerto Banús and began shooting at an establishment located in the Cristamar shopping center. Videos recorded by witnesses show a man with his face covered with a cap and a black scarf, running in various directions and without showing great dexterity. Fortunately, the incident did not leave any fatalities.

Immediately afterwards, the aggressor fled in a BMW X3 with his accomplices, and then started a forest fire in order to eliminate the evidence. The vehicle burned. The use of a motorcycle license plate to cover up the facts, as previously reported by EL ESPAÑOL, is a common tactic in organized crime and suggests prior planning of the events. The Spanish police did not take long to suspect a french organization. Not in vain, the gunman was wearing an Olympique Lyon shirt from the 2010-2011 season.

The target of this attack, according to the Parisian newspaper, would have been Thomas M. (known as ‘Mehdi’), a French citizen from Évreux with connections in drug trafficking who was in the Spanish city at the time. According to information collected by the French authorities, the murder was ordered by an individual nicknamed ‘the Fly’, who was detained at that time in the Santé prison, in Paris. It was later learned that Amra and Mehdi had had an dispute related to a cannabis business and for that reason he had ordered his murder.

The answer This assassination attempt was extremely bloody. One week later, on July 25, 2023, two men aged 34 and 38 were murdered in the middle of the night in the Madeleine neighborhood of Évreux. One of them, Fatha B., had a close relationship with Amra. The double homicide was carried out by two individuals dressed in black, with hoods and armed with Kalashnikovs. The latest investigations indicate that the operation was ordered by Mehdi as a act of revenge against ‘el Mosca’.

The Épervier plan is launched

After the assault on the police van, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, announced on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that the ‘Épervier’ plan had been launched (Hawk) or Immediate Intervention Plan.
