Young Sefa, still brain dead after a collision with a police vehicle on Wednesday September 6 in Elancourt (Yvelines), will be transferred to Turkey, franceinfo learned on Sunday September 10 from the Versailles prosecutor’s office, confirming information from BFMTV .

According to the prosecution, the transfer of the 16-year-old teenager to Turkey is scheduled for this Sunday evening. In addition, a judicial investigation will be opened “at the beginning of the week” for “involuntary injuries”, adds the parquet floor of Versailles. “This is the qualification that remains until we have a death certificate”, he finishes. The motorcycle that the young Sefa was driving hit a police car on Wednesday around 6:40 p.m. His two-wheeler was followed at a distance by another police vehicle.

A video used by the IGPN shows that the police car hit was slowly arriving at the intersection where the collision took place, franceinfo learned this Friday from a source close to the investigation. This same source specifies that according to the video, the teenager was then without a helmet and that he was looking behind him without slowing down. The custody of the two police officers involved in the collision was lifted Thursday without prosecution at this stage.

The lawyer for the young boy’s family, Me Yassine Bouzrou, announced Thursday evening that he had filed a complaint for attempted intentional homicide and requested the removal of the case, accusing the Versailles prosecutor’s office of “lies” to be unable to “treat this matter objectively”.
