After the murder of Philippe Coopman in Grande-Synthe (North), the online messaging service Coco.gg is at the center of debates. It was via this chat site that the two alleged attackers lured the victim.
A reassuring logo, an almost funny name, but what is hidden behind the Coco dating site? To register, simply enter a nickname, gender, age and postal code. No test is necessary to be admitted. Very quickly, very direct and priced proposals were proposed. Does the Coco site serve as a platform for prostitution, sometimes that of minors? There are hundreds of pornographic photos on the platform.
Difficult to punish him
It is on the Coco site that the alleged assassins of Philippe Coopman arranged to meet their victim in Grande-Synthe (North). But this ambush via the platform is far from being an isolated case. The site was also used by a sexual predator who recruited men to rape his wife. But it seems difficult to sanction the site. Created 20 years ago by a Frenchman, the platform has changed hands several times.
