Félix Bingui, known as 'Le Chat' (The Cat), the alleged leader of the Yoda clan, is currently on trial in Marseille for drug trafficking. The trial began on May 18, 2026, at the Marseille courthouse.
Bingui is accused of leading a major drug trafficking network that operated in the city's northern neighborhoods. The Yoda clan has been linked to violent turf wars in Marseille, which have resulted in numerous deaths in recent years.
Prosecutors allege that Bingui orchestrated the importation and distribution of cannabis and cocaine. The trial is expected to last several weeks, with multiple co-defendants also facing charges.
