Marseille bar massacre refers to the mass murder of ten people in the Bar du Téléphone in Marseille, France, on 3 October 1978. Three armed gunmen entered the bar and shot everyone present in the head, with the sole survivor being the owner's wife Nicole Léoni, who was in another room.[1] The massacre was largely taken up by the French press at the time.[2]
Police believed the attack to have been part of a gang war between rival organised crime gangsters led by Tony Zampa and opposing Jack le Mat.[citation needed] The killings were compared to the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre in the United States.[3] Pierre Michel, the investigative judge in charge of the case, was himself shot dead on 21 October 1981.[citation needed] François Cecchi and François Girard, both gangsters of the 'French Sicilian Connection', were imprisoned for life for Michel's assassination.[4]
The case was still ongoing when Michel was killed and so far remains unsolved, as nobody has ever been convicted for the massacre.[5]
