  • He is the sole minor listed in Interpol’s red notice database and is flagged as dangerous for global law enforcement
  • Victim Benoît suffered multiple stab wounds to the thorax during PSG Champions League victory celebrations near Place de la Fontaine-Chaude
  • Prosecutors have classified the case as an assassination after determining that a prior cap theft dispute suggested premeditation
