Creation of a commission of inquiry at the National Assembly

The National Assembly’s Law Commission unanimously gave the green light on Wednesday to the creation of a commission of inquiry into the fatal attack in March of Yvan Colonna, detained in Arles prison.

Created on the initiative of the deputy of Haute-Corse Jean-Félix Acquaviva (Liot), the commission of inquiry will have to examine in particular the conditions of detention of the alleged murderer, Franck Elong Abé, but will not be able “to carry out its investigations on issues falling within the exclusive competence of the judicial authority”, warned Caroline Abadie (Renaissance), rapporteur of the text creating the commission.
