Organized crime in France, known as grand banditisme or milieu, is based in major cities like Marseille, Grenoble, Paris, and Lyon. It has evolved from prostitution and hijacking in the early 1900s to drug trafficking, extortion, counterfeiting, and white-collar crime today. The Corsican mafia, including the Unione Corse and Gang de la Brise de Mer, is a prominent component. As of 2024, these groups remain powerful, controlling various businesses in southern France.
