Overview

• Alan Gomes, 28, and Albinou Da Sylva, 38, were arrested in Morocco on February 23 under Interpol red notices and extradited to France on August 13.
• Investigators allege Gomes took part in the armed commando ambush at the Incarville toll in May 2024 that freed narcotrafficker Mohamed Amra and killed two prison officers.
• Both men were indicted Wednesday evening on charges including murder, attempted murder in an organized gang and criminal association before being placed in pretrial detention.
• Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin praised Moroccan authorities for facilitating the swift extradition and confirmed the suspects will be rapidly presented to Paris judges.
• Their extraditions follow a large-scale operation that has placed at least 41 suspects under formal investigation—including ties to the Black Manjak Family—and involved seizures of firearms and communication devices.
