Threats on several occasions. A medical student, accused of having threatened to kill the presenter of Complément d’Enquête Tristan Waleck after a program devoted to Hamas, will be tried in Lyon on April 4, we learned on Friday from the prosecution.
This second year medical student, aged 20, with no criminal record, was referred to the public prosecutor’s office on Friday and placed under judicial supervision pending trial for “repeated” threats, according to this source.
The young man was arrested Wednesday evening in Villeurbanne, on the outskirts of Lyon, where he lives. According to the daily Progress, he threatened the presenter “twice” by telephone at his Parisian home, “once by anonymous call, another time with a displayed number”. He reportedly told him “that the same thing would be done to him as the acts committed by Hamas”.
On October 26, the France 2 investigative magazine devoted a program to the Islamist armed group, entitled “Hamas: blood and weapons”. The investigation was initially entrusted to the judicial police of the Paris police headquarters. But “the Lyon public prosecutor’s office retained jurisdiction due to the author’s residence,” the latter specified.
