New blog post dedicated to Jean Jehan, aka "the American" or "Pépé la chnouf." [chnouf is a slang word meaning drug]

Jehan is primarily famous for inspiring the character of "Alain Charnier," played by Fernando Rey, in William Friedkin's film "The French Connection."

Jean Jehan alias "l'Américain" & "Pépé la Chnouf"

Rewrite of the very first article of my blog with much more detail and correction of some errors.

Article dedicated to the rise and fall of the Stefani brothers and Pierre Marini, Corsican bosses of the Pigalle underworld, with a background of vendettas and drug trafficking.
