A group of at least 25 young individuals, alleged to be members of an organized criminal ring, have been charged for a violent attack on the family of Paymium CEO Pierre Noizat. This incident occurred on May 13th, when four armed assailants attempted to assault Noizat’s daughter, husband, and grandson. Despite quick intervention by onlookers, the attackers fled the scene.
