“We have a certain number of serious leads” to find the suspects, assures the Paris prosecutor

“The mobilization on this hunt does not weaken“, underlined Laure Beccuau, public prosecutor of Paris, this Monday on franceinfo, about the investigation into the attack on a prison van in which two prison officers were killed on May 14 at the Incarville tollbooth. , in Eure Laure Beccuau also specified that she had “.a certain number of avenues that I would describe as serious” as to the identity of the suspects for their arrests. This bloody attack enabled the escape of Mohamed Amra, a repeat offender involved in drug trafficking.

“Several hundred investigators, several dozen experts” are “mobilized“, she added. “Everything is being done so that the judicial investigation, and more broadly the judicial institution, responds to this exacerbated violence which manifested itself at the Incarville toll gate.“, she assured. “My intention is not to give you the elements of investigation today. Because you know that beyond the mobilization of investigators, secrecy is also a weapon for the success of investigations“, she clarified.

A judicial investigation, led by three investigating magistrates, has been open since last Friday, but the hunt has already lasted 13 days. “Those concerned had undoubtedly anticipated the fact of finding points of refuge“, explains the prosecutor to justify the duration of this hunt. “Patience and length of time are more than strength of courage“, she puts things into perspective.
