The Paris prosecutor’s office on Wednesday requested a trial against nine CRS suspected of aggravated intentional violence against at least four “yellow vests” and a journalist in a Burger King restaurant near the Champs-Elysées at the end of 2018, franceinfo learned on Thursday August 1 from a source close to the case, confirming information from AFP.

Regarding this symbolic case of the “yellow vests”, which occurred during act 3, on December 1, 2018 around 7 p.m., the day had been marked by numerous acts of violence and clashes, notably in a Burger King restaurant near the Champs-Elysées. This violence had been filmed by several journalists. On the videos, we could see the CRS violently beating demonstrators, some of whom were lying on the ground, with batons.
