Orange Closes Marseille’s Saint-Mauront Office Until Further Notice After Bullet Strikes

Labor inspectors have ordered a psychosocial-risk assessment following the latest safety incident.

Overview

  • Orange instructed roughly 1,000 employees to work remotely or from other company sites while investigations continue.
  • Multiple bullet impacts were found on the facade and windows, including a shot that traversed a meeting and rest room, with a bullet recovered inside.
  • The facility sits beside a known drug-dealing location and had previously been closed for about two weeks in late November before a brief reopening.
  • The CFE-CGC union is calling for a permanent relocation of tertiary functions away from the Saint-Mauront site.
  • Police said the timing of the gunfire is unknown, likely outside working hours, and have reinforced patrols with a static guard as inquiries proceed.
