Two days after the large-scale operation launched Monday at dawn in Villefontaine (Isère), in the presence of the GIGN, to arrest a dozen people suspected of having lynched a 22-year-old to death this summer, the Grenoble prosecutor’s office has just communicated an update of the case. A minor and six adults, aged 16 to 32, were thus referred this Wednesday to the Grenoble courthouse.
They are being presented before the examining magistrate of Grenoble, seized under the criminal pole for acts of murder. The deputy prosecutor Boris Duffau indicates that the prosecution requested six warrants of deposit and a placement under judicial supervision.

After three months of investigations, the investigators of the seresearch ction Grenoble proceeded Monday to a wave of arrests in this matter.
