The Petit Bar Gang is an organized crime group from Corsica. It gets its name from the "Petit Bar," an establishment in Ajaccio (on the cours Napoléon), owned by Ange-Marie Michelosi, a lieutenant of Jean-Jérôme Colonna, from whose gang it is said to originate.
Engaged in extortion against merchants, active in the Greater Ajaccio region but also on the mainland and abroad, it was presented in 2022 as the most powerful criminal group in Corsica, the only one to have succeeded in creating a network of political and economic influence worthy of a true mafia.
