Marseille Influencer Carla Moreau's Car Set Ablaze; Police Open Investigation into DZ Mafia Extortion Attempt
On the night of 22–23 July 2026, the car belonging to French reality‑TV star and influencer Carla Moreau was set on fire near her residence in the 11th arrondissement of Marseille while she was away in Monaco. A typed letter signed by the criminal group “DZ Mafia” was left in her mailbox, demanding a €60,000 payment.
The Marseille public prosecutor has opened an inquiry on several charges, including destruction by dangerous means in organized crime, attempted extortion in organized crime, and association of criminals to commit a crime. Police are examining any link between the arson and the DZ Mafia, a network known for drug trafficking in the city. The case follows recent violent actions and threats attributed to the same group, such as intimidation of the mayor of Alès.
Moreau addressed her three‑million Instagram followers on Sunday, assuring them that she is safe, well‑protected and will not comment further on the incident.
