Two police officers were indicted in September and October for “voluntary violence” and placed under judicial supervision after seriously injuring a driver and his passenger in Stains (Seine-Saint-Denis), in August 2021, announced Friday 7 October the Bobigny prosecutor’s office to AFP, confirming information from the Bondy Blog. The indictments took place on September 8 and October 3, the source said.
These two agents of the Stains anti-crime brigade (BAC), aged 28 and 31, are, pending the outcome of the legal proceedings, prohibited from exercising their professional activity on the public highway and from wearing or holding a weapon, added the prosecution.
This rebound comes more than a year after a stormy intervention on the night of August 15 to 16, 2021 around 1:30 a.m., from which the two occupants of the vehicle had escaped. The two police officers had tried to control the car on the boulevard Maxime-Gorki in Stains, but this one, first immobilized near the police, had backed up and started to roll again, explained a source close to the investigation at the material time.
A video from the media L’Echo des suburbs, massively shared on social networks, shows the two police officers firing several times in the direction of the car. The driver had received several bullets in the chest, arm and pubis, while his passenger and companion, lying on the back seat, had been seriously injured in the back.
Also prosecuted for “refusal to comply” and “violence with a weapon”, in this case his car, the 37-year-old driver was sentenced in February to two years in prison by the Bobigny court. He appealed this decision and will be tried again at the Paris Court of Appeal on Tuesday.
