Before the start of the Dakar rally 2022, a French vehicle exploded in Saudi Arabia where the event was taking place. Is this a criminal act or an accident? Live from the courthouse in Paris, journalist Ben Barnier gives us his analysis.
The explosion of a French vehicle raises many questions. Its pilot, Philippe Boutron, was seriously injured in this explosion. Journalist Ben Barnier reports that for the French pilot’s teammates, this is an act of malicious intent. The incident took place Thursday in Jeddah. “On the Saudi side, an investigation has been launched that may determine whether or not it is a malicious act.“says Ben Barnier.
For the moment, no investigation has been launched in France, for lack of elements according to the National Antiterrorist Prosecutor’s Office which affirms all the same “closely follow the Saudi investigations“. Moreover, a decision should be made about it in the hours or days to come.
