An investigation was opened on Friday December 1 after the online distribution of the identities and addresses of several suspects in the case of the death of Thomas in Crépol in the Drôme, franceinfo learned on Wednesday from the Paris prosecutor’s office.
At the end of November, franceinfo and France Bleu Drôme Ardèche revealed that certain members of the small far-right groups who carried out a xenophobic punitive expedition in Romans-sur-Isère on Saturday November 25 had a detailed list of suspects in the investigation into the death of the young teenager.
This investigation was opened after referral to the Central Office for the Fight against Hate Crimes and Online Hate (OCLCH) and the South-East Zonal Directorate of the Judicial Police by the National Center for the Fight against Online Hate (PNLH).
An investigation into possible “doxxing”
The prosecution explains that this investigation concerns “public comments broadcast online likely to qualify as doxxing”that is to say a “disclosure of personal data with endangerment”as well as “other public and online comments that could be qualified as death threats, direct provocation to commit an attack on life, provocation to hatred”.
“This referral is based on the Pharos files and partially on the complaints transmitted by the Valencia public prosecutor’s office when they mention the qualifications retained”continues the prosecution, specifying on the other hand that “this referral does not include comments transmitted non-publicly, or transmitted privately, postal letters and malicious telephone calls which do not fall within the jurisdiction of the PNLH and which the Valencia public prosecutor’s office remains seized of.”
