The birth and meteoric rise of 'La Brise de Mer'. Innsidh a' chiad earrann seo mar a thĂ inig "La Brise de Mer" gu bith is gu cumhachd.

Corsica, early 1980s. The rise of a clan, based in the city of Bastia, brings terror to the French island. Soon, they become one of the country’s biggest crime groups. Here is the incredible story of the Corsican gangsters of 'La Brise de Mer'.

Intimidation, money laundering, hold-ups, murders... For 30 years, the members of La Brise de Mer ruled the island. By accumulating an ever-increasing number of investments, by relentlessly eliminating all opponents and forging alliances with politicians and businessmen, the mafia group gradually built up its empire. Money flowed freely and impunity was complete. In the face of La Brise de Mer, everyone observed the law of silence.

Corsica, tràth sna h-ochdadan. Choisinn neartachadh cinneadh stèidhte ann am baile Bastia eagal air an eilean Fhrangach. Cha b' fhada gur iad aon dhe na buidhnean eucoireach a bu mhotha san dùthaich. Seo sgeulachd iontach Corsicanach "La Brise de Mer".
Maoidheadh, ionnlaid-airgid, gadachd, muirt... Fad 30 bliadhna bha buill La Brise de Mer a' riaghladh an eilein. Tro bhith a' sìor-leudachadh seilbheadaireachd, a' cur às do dh'fharpaisich agus a' dèanamh ceanglaichean le luchd-poileataigs is luchd-gnothaich, beag air bheag, leudaich am buidheann mafia an ìmpireachd. Bha airgead a' sruthadh gun stad agus cha robh ceannsachadh orra. Mu choinneamh La Brise de Mer, lean gach neach lagh na tostachd.
