The tribunal correctionnel of Marseille delivered its judgment on July 7, 2025, in the trial concerning the 2018 collapse of two buildings on rue d'Aubagne that resulted in eight deaths. The court condemned ten individuals, including three co-owners of the collapsed buildings, to prison sentences. Among the co-owners, one was sentenced to four years in prison, with the tribunal highlighting his "assured contempt." The sentences for the co-owners were to be served under electronic monitoring. Additionally, a former deputy mayor of Marseille responsible for housing was sentenced to a suspended prison term. During the judgment, one of the convicted co-owners suffered a medical episode, which temporarily interrupted the proceedings. The verdict came seven years after the tragedy and six months after the trial concluded. The judgment received mixed reactions from the victims' families and parties involved.
