French Anti-Organized-Crime Office Confirms Single Long-Range Shot in Killing of Corsican Figure Alain Orsoni

The newly created national anti-organized-crime office is steering the case as an organized-crime investigation.

Overview

  • Prosecutors said one shot killed Orsoni, striking his chest at long range and also traversing an arm.
  • The projectile came from a hunting-type firearm, with the specific weapon and calibre still under examination.
  • The probe is co-handled with Marseille’s specialized jurisdiction, with Ajaccio’s judicial police and the OCLO assigned under organized-crime statutes.
  • An autopsy was performed Wednesday as investigators focus on ballistics and possible criminal networks.
  • Cremation is set for Saturday in Ajaccio, followed by a private family gathering in Véro without passing the cemetery where he was shot.
