Alain Orsoni Funeral Held Under Tight Security in Ajaccio

Authorities handling the case as organized crime have confirmed one fatal long‑range shot from a hunting‑type weapon.

Overview

  • More than 200 people attended a calm ceremony at the Ajaccio crematorium before a private gathering later in Vero, with no passage through the cemetery where he was killed.
  • Gendarmerie units secured routes and surrounding areas, with patrols and planned sweeps in the maquis and possible drone monitoring, according to security sources.
  • Guy Orsoni did not attend; his lawyer said he wished to be present but leave was refused on security grounds, and he has been transferred under isolation status that he is contesting.
  • The newly created national anti‑organized crime office (Pnaco) is co‑seized with the Marseille specialized jurisdiction, with the Ajaccio judicial police and OCLO leading inquiries into murder in an organized group.
  • Pnaco says one shot struck after passing through the arm into the chest, and investigators are examining rival‑clan motives, including tensions with the Petit Bar group and lines of inquiry linked to the victim’s jailed son.
