In January 2025, a firefighter named Camille Orsoni was assassinated in Oletta, Corsica, an event that has now led to the criminal indictment of Jean-François Mattei. Mattei, who is reportedly affiliated with one of Corsica's various criminal gangs, was charged with 'assassination and participation in a criminal association with a view to preparing a crime' by a Marseille-based judge. His indictment comes as part of a broader investigation into organized crime activities in Corsica.

The indictment of Mattei represents not just a significant development in this specific case but also highlights the persistent issue of organized crime in Corsica, where multiple criminal factions operate. The prosecutor's office has confirmed that Mattei was acting in connection with his criminal affiliations, suggesting that the assassination was likely motivated by gang rivalries or disputes. Such criminal acts have plagued the region, marking ongoing tensions within Corsican society.

As the investigation unfolds, there are serious implications for law enforcement and governance in Corsica, which continues to grapple with the challenges posed by these criminal organizations. The involvement of Mattei from prison points to the complex networks that underpin criminal operations in the region, raising questions about security, enforcement, and the measures necessary to combat organized crime effectively. Law enforcement agencies in both Corsica and mainland France are under pressure to address these perennial issues, with the public increasingly concerned about safety and justice in the face of such violence.
