Facts

Massié, local leader of the SAC Marseilles, is simple a Brigadier of police force which had, thanks to the networks gaullists, taken down a place with the school of the inspectors to Cannes-Lock (Seine-et-Marne). Its repeated absences had left free course to the charges of its assistant, Jean-Joseph Maria , with which it was in conflict, and which finishes by the suspecting of treason and embezzlements.

In April 1981, Massié prevents the police force that Maria and one of her faithful, Lionel Collard , old a Parachutiste, are probably behind the drawn shots a few days before on her car. The wife of the Brigadier had asked the school of her son to redouble vigilance.

In July, a team recruited by Maria and Collard envisage to kidnap Massié to render comprehensible to him that it is not question of delivering secrecies to the left local, and also to recover documents in its residence, a Bastide close to Auriol, in the countryside Marseillais E.

The Repérage S are carried out by a curious attachment. Jean-Bruno Finochietti is a Instituteur loved his pupils, whose teaching qualities will be still rented by the parents and his/her colleagues after his inculpation. Didier Campana , a Motorcyclist having made some studies of Psychology, Jean-François Massoni and Angel Poletti , with the personalities without relief, is three Postier S syndicated with the CGT. Jean-Joseph Maria claims to have been “colonel of paras”. Actually, it forever be only simple Soldier in offices with Nancy and is only the very ordinary Directeur of a family Entreprise of Peinture, in evil of recognition.

The July 18th, at 3 p.m., the attack is launched: the Calvaire will last three hours. Marie-Dominique Massié , the wife, her son, Alexandre, 7 years old, her mother, her father and the brother-in-law are gathered and bound on the first floor. They are kept by Finochietti, which will tell that Alexandre fell asleep before his/her mother does not beg it: " They kill us, saves at least the enfant." It will not do anything, in spite of the proximity of a French window which would have made it possible to let it slip by.

Around 6 p.m., only truth Para of the band, Lionel Collard , section: " The descendre." are needed; With the bottom of the staircase, they are strangled one by one by Collard, using a cord. Alexandre is the last. It is Finochietti, the Instituteur model and father of two children, who takes it in his arms. Poletti strikes it with blows of poker. While being able more to hear its rails, Finochietti completes it of a blow of Couteau.

The bodies are transported by Collard and Massoni at the bottom of a unused mine. Finochietti, Poletti and Campana await the return of Massié and kill it around 3 hours of the morning.

The investigation

Declarations of Marina Massié , the sister of the main victim, and the Empreinte of Finochietti found on a Bouteille in the house make it possible to go up the track and to find the bodies. Finochietti cracks the first and acknowledges the Crime. Campana will indicate: " It was said to us that it was about the execution of an order come from a level supérieur."

Consequences
