An investigation is opened, entrusted to the 20th arrondissement police station. The complaint targets the BTS student who was asked by the principal to remove his veil at the end of February. A request which earned him numerous death threats online, following which the principal left his position “for security reasons”, at the end of March.
The Paris prosecutor’s office indicates that it also received a report from the rectorate, dating from Tuesday April 2, a few days after an interview between the principal and Gabriel Attal. On this occasion, the Prime Minister had in fact announced that the State would file a complaint “for slanderous denunciation”.
