Three police officers, who had been in police custody since Tuesday in Marseille as part of an investigation into the death of a 27-year-old man on the sidelines of the riots in early July, were referred, the prosecution told AFP. The investigating judge before whom the three police officers of the Raid, an elite unit, were brought may decide either to indict them, or to place them under the status of assisted witness, or to release them without prosecution. .
A total of five police officers were taken into custody on Tuesday morning before the Marseille prosecutor’s office lifted the custody of two of them the same evening. Other police officers had also been summoned to be heard as “witnesses”. On the night of July 1 to 2, while the center of Marseille was plagued by degradation and looting, Mohamed Bendriss, 27, lost his life after falling ill while riding a scooter.
