Six years after the attack, the maxi trial for the Nice massacre begins, which on 14 July 2016 resulted in the death of 86 people and the wounding of over 450. The first hearing is for today in Paris.
The massacre dates back to July 2016 when on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Franco-Tunisian, threw a truck into the crowd. The man, who was killed in the minutes following the attack by the police, struck the crowd, proceeding in a zig-zag and shooting wildly from the window. 6 Italians also lost their lives in the attack. At the trial, 8 defendants will be tried, 7 men and one woman.
