The policeman who killed Nahel in Nanterre remains in prison, Thursday July 6, while his request for release was rejected.

The policeman who killed Nahel will remain in prison, his request for release was rejected by the Court of Appeal on Thursday July 6. His lawyer deplored this decision. The Court relied on the requisitions of the prosecution which detailed in a document the ten days of investigation. Thus, the Mercedes that Nahel was driving was spotted in a bus lane at 7:55 a.m. by two police bikers and then chased.

What role did the 2nd policeman have?

The CCTV images show that Nahel refused to comply and that the Mercedes almost hit a cyclist and a pedestrian. At 8.15 a.m., the car stopped because of traffic and the two police officers stood near the driver. Florian M. points it with his weapon and shoots when the vehicle restarts. He specifies that it was his ninth day of work and that he fired for fear that the driver would take someone on board. The prosecution retained the sentence “you’ll take a bullet in the head“, attributed to the 2ᵉ policeman, Julien L. The family lawyer requests his indictment.
