The three alleged organizers of this party, in a village hall in the 10th arrondissement, in the eastern districts of Marseille, were arrested and placed in police custody for “endangering the lives of others” and “hidden work” , we said on the side of the Prosecutor of the Republic of Marseille, Dominique Laurens.
A fine of 135 euros for breaking the curfew rules
