Overview

• Tom Trouillet is ordered to stand trial for assassinations and instigation to assassination, Nathan Badji and Mickaël Zadi for assassinations, Enzo Challat for complicity in assassinations, and Stevan Mathieu for crime‑scene modification and concealment of a corpse.
• The parquet confirms that Trouillet, Badji, Zadi and Challat face potential life imprisonment, while Mathieu faces up to three years in prison.
• Only two of the five remain in pretrial detention, including Trouillet, with the others under judicial supervision.
• The examining magistrate’s ordonnance aligns with prosecutors’ requisitions and formally renvoie the case to the assizes court.
• A definitive motive has not been established, with earlier hypotheses citing a sentimental dispute or financial debts, and local reporting indicates a trial could be scheduled in May–June 2026 subject to appeals.
