Anger and amazement for the inhabitants of Villefranche-sur-Mer who discovered the vandalized war memorial on the esplanade de l’Octroi this Saturday morning. It was one of them who alerted Jean-Frédéric Marchessou, departmental president of the national association of veterans. He himself immediately called the municipal police who looked into the images of the video surveillance.
A group of young people identified
The mayor of Villefranche Christophe Trojani, speaks of a “group of young people already identified and which has been a problem for some time now“, between insults to residents and altercations with the municipal police. On the images we can clearly see them throwing stones at the monument according to him. A gesture “idiot” for the chosen one, “such stupidity” laments Jean-Frédéric Marchessou. His association filed a complaint, the municipal police investigation continues.
