Twelve people were arrested and taken into police custody this Wednesday morning as part of the investigation into the attack on the home of the mayor of L’Haÿ-les-Roses, franceinfo learned from the Créteil prosecutor’s office, confirming information from BFMTV. These are 12 adult men, mainly domiciled in L’Haÿ-les-Roses and the surrounding area, and for some known for common law offenses.

These custody will allow investigators to hear these 12 people “on their schedule the night of the facts”, “to confront them with the elements collected by the investigators” and “to carry out DNA samples” to compare them to the traces taken from the place of the facts, explains the parquet floor of Créteil to franceinfo.

His wife had been injured

On the night of July 1 to 2, during the fifth night of urban revolts after the death of Nahel, the home of the mayor LR of L’Haÿ-les-Roses (Val-de-Marne) Vincent Jeanbrun was targeted by a flaming car-ram attack. His wife had fractured her tibia while fleeing with her children under mortar fire.

Just over 24 hours after the attack, a solidarity march to the cries of “that’s enough !”, brought together elected officials and residents in this city of just over 30,000 inhabitants south of Paris. Tenors of his party, such as the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher, the President of the Île-de-France region Valérie Pécresse and the boss of the Republicans Eric Ciotti, had participated.

17 attacks on elected officials were recorded during this episode of urban violence, according to Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
