German YouTuber films armed drug dealers in Lyon’s peripheral neighborhoods
YouTuber LuckyL030 recorded visits to drug-selling sites in Vénissieux and Saint-Priest, where he was shown firearms and met a self-described hitman.
German YouTuber LuckyL030, who specializes in filming drug-deal locations worldwide, visited the Lyon metropolitan area and entered neighborhoods often labeled as ghettos. In Vénissieux, he was met by a man wearing a hood and holding an automatic weapon, who showed him a local drug-processing “four” and warned that newcomers face lethal retaliation. When asked about a possible war in Lyon, the guide replied that anyone entering a specific zone would be eliminated.
A second participant, whose face was blurred, identified himself as a hitman for various drug networks, stating that his assignments are paid in amounts ranging from tens of thousands of euros. Outside, motorcycles and scooters awaited while the alleged hitman fired a Kalashnikov and a companion discharged a pistol into the air. The tour ended in Saint-Priest, where a new guide advertised his “four” as the best in the area, located near a highway exit and described as welcoming to customers.
According to one outlet authorities, a person was injured by one of the weapons during filming, leading the Parquet to open an investigation. The region has seen eleven drug-related deaths and dozens of injuries since the start of the year.
