Bruno Pomart, a former RAID instructor, believes that it will be “very complicated” for the fugitive “to keep the distance”

Time is on the side for investigators, Saturday May 18. “This is why the national police, in general, have put a significant number, almost 350 investigators, into this case. It’s a very good thing, it allows us to hit all sides”, from technical and scientific policing to intelligence, explains Bruno Pomart, president of the Initiative for Internal Security think tank, former RAID instructor. To survive on the run, Mohamed Amra needs a lot of money and accomplices. “To hide, obviously, you have to pay. So it requires a lot, a lot of resources”continues Bruno Pomart, who believes that it will be “very complicated for Mohamed Amra to keep up the distance”.

As for his accomplices, they are “potential risks to detect and locate” the individual. While Interpol has issued a red notice, is the hypothesis of a flight abroad possible? “Everything is possible, (…) that’s why the red sheet was triggered. It will allow us to have information, whether there have been border crossings or not”adds the former RAID instructor, who specifies that he is however “quite possible” that individuals “remained in the Eure sector”known for drug trafficking.
