The family of the young man who died Wednesday evening in a collision with a police car in Aubervilliers, in Seine-Saint-Denis, is filing a complaint against the police, franceinfo learned on Friday March 15 from his lawyer Yassine Bouzrou, confirming information from the Parisian. The young man died after being hit on a scooter by a BAC car following a refusal to comply. The complaint will be filed “on the count of intentional violence, leading to death without intention to cause it and aggravated intentional violence”.
The family, through their lawyer, disputes the police version. According to the Bobigny public prosecutor’s office, “all public road videos have been recovered” And “the first operations confirm that the police vehicle had to deviate from its traffic lane, due to a non-respected priority of a vehicle being identified”. This is how the police vehicle “found himself facing the scooter which was coming in the opposite direction at high speed after having disengaged to overtake”. A version also confirmed by video surveillance images of the accident broadcast Thursday evening by France 2.
The Paris police chief supports the police
The Paris police chief, Laurent Nuñez, affirms that “this video corroborates in every way what my staff described to me” and that he therefore has “no reason to question the version of [ses] police officers”. The police chief said to himself “in total solidarity with [ses] workforce” and will not let “not to say that it is a voluntary act”.
