Overview

• Bordeaux prosecutors have formally reopened a probe into potential intentional violence by Bertrand Cantat against Krisztina Rady, who was found hanged in January 2010.
• The decision follows a three-part Netflix documentary that presented claims and testimonies absent from four earlier investigations.
• The renewed inquiry will examine new evidence, including a nurse’s account that Rady sought treatment for a detached scalp and bruises after an altercation with Cantat.
• Four previous investigations between 2010 and 2018 were closed without charges, and authorities will now review the materials those probes omitted.
• Cantat’s lawyer Antonin Levy said he was unaware of the fresh investigation and Cantat previously served prison time for the 2003 killing of actress Marie Trintignant.
