His decision was brought to the attention of justice at the end of July, learned 20 minutes with the lawyer of one of the civil parties, confirming information from Nice morning.

On March 9, the Assize Court of the Alpes-Maritimes sentenced this 29-year-old man to life imprisonment, with a security period of 22 years.
