Marwan Berreni, who played Abdel Fedala, was found dead on October 12 on a farm in Corcelles-en-Beaujolais. Before the first image of the series, a message on a black background displayed "in memory of Michel Cordes and Marwan Berreni". In the series, Michel Cordes died of a heart attack. His son Thomas (Laurent Kérusoré) opens a new bar with his brother Kilian (Tim Rousseau). The two men set up a photo in which Roland Marci poses with his children.

The staff no longer hide their concern after the intrusion, in November, into the establishment of members of a family who came to avenge one of their own, after an altercation outside .

Since then, requests for a hearing, but also for reinforcements in assistants and education advisors have remained unheeded, such as that of classification in a priority education zone.

The teenager found with gunshot wounds has died

#TOULOUSE – Dylan, found shot in the head on Saturday in a car in Toulouse, was declared dead on Sunday. His alleged killer, a teenager in police custody, confessed to the murder. The tragedy would have occurred against a backdrop of pimping between minors. In this circle, it was common to rent accommodation through Airbnb. Boys there welcomed girls, minors, who had run away. In exchange for shelter and food, they prostituted them. On Saturday, a client, who went into a room with a teenage girl, threatened her with a gun. The teenager uttered screams, which alerted the members of this amateur network. The future victim rushed into the room. An exchange of blows allegedly took place. Then the victim was shot between the eyes. Two boys loaded the teenager into a car and dropped him off in the Izards district of Toulouse, and notified the emergency services. The teenager died in hospital on Sunday.
