New twist in the case of the fatal police shootings in the Loiret, which occurred in August 2017. Luis Bico, known for psychiatric disorders, had been killed by the police in Châlette-sur-Loing, north of Montargis, while he tried to flee with his car. An investigating judge ordered a dismissal in this investigation for “willful violence resulting in death without intention to give it by a person holding public authority”, announced Monday, September 19, the Orleans prosecutor’s office.
“A dismissal order was issued on August 2, 2022, in accordance with the requisitions made by the Orleans prosecutor’s office. An appeal was lodged by the civil parties”said the prosecution, confirming information from France Bleu Orléans.
As a reminder, on August 19, 2017, the 48-year-old Franco-Portuguese national had just displayed threatening behavior in the city center by showing a knife in front of a passer-by.
Taking out his knife again in front of the police, the forty-something had threatened to kill the officials before rushing at them with his vehicle. The police then used their weapons and the man died of his injuries.
