The investigative chamber of the Versailles Court of Appeal decided on Thursday to keep in pre-trial detention the police officer responsible for the fatal shooting of Nahel in Nanterre on June 27, during a traffic check, told Agence France -Press a source close to the file. This police biker, Florian M., was indicted for intentional homicide and imprisoned last Thursday. Incarcerated in the prison of Health in Paris, he appeared by videoconference during the hearing of the chamber of instruction.
He was represented by his lawyer, Maître Laurent-Franck Liénard, who had appealed the detention of his client. “For him, it is totally hopeless. He takes this news, it is nightmarish for him, he remains hopeful, he will continue to fight, but will he still have the energy? reacted Master Liénard at the microphone of BFMTV. “It’s a tsunami in his life, he is hit like someone who has experienced major trauma, he is still in a state of amazement,” the lawyer also said. Names tagged on the walls, leaked identities: the fear of the manhunt for the police
The death of young Nahel, 17, on June 27, during a roadside check, was the trigger for several nights of urban violence in the Paris region and in the rest of the country. They were marked by scenes of looting, firing of fireworks mortars on public buildings and fires.
