Two Marseille Court Employees Indicted Over Alleged Leaks to DZ Mafia

The case is the first for Marseille’s new anti‑corruption unit, which is pursuing the probe as prosecutors contest refusals of pretrial detention.

Overview

  • Both administrative staffers were placed under formal investigation on December 5 and put under judicial supervision after a judge declined to jail them, a decision the prosecutor’s office has appealed.
  • Investigators say the pair accessed sensitive judicial systems including Cassiopée, Genesis and Romeo, which hold procedural files, detention records and extraction or videoconference data.
  • According to the inquiries, confidential information was passed to associates linked to the DZ Mafia and to a companion involved in drug cases in exchange for benefits.
  • Financial traces identified include 18 bank transfers totaling €3,600 and possible coverage of rent and travel, with gifts and trips also cited in the findings.
  • One suspect is accused of mass consultations in 2024–2025 covering about 50 profiles, including eight tied to murders, and an ex-partner has been indicted on corruption-related charges.
