Laurent Nuñez Files Defamation Complaint Against Four LFI Deputies Over Police-Killing Claims

The move follows posts accusing the police of killings on the 20th anniversary of the 2005 deaths in Clichy-sous-Bois.

Overview

  • The complaint names Manon Aubry, Paul Vannier, Aurélien Taché and Ersilia Soudais, according to the Interior Ministry.
  • Nuñez condemned the remarks on France 5 and pointed to the 2015 acquittal in the 2005 case as evidence that courts found no criminal fault.
  • Manon Aubry wrote on X that Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré were killed during a police check and called to end impunity tied to racism and violence.
  • Aurélien Taché posted that 162 people have died during police checks since 2005 and asserted that the police still kill, a claim reported as his statement.
  • The filing follows renewed debate on the 2005 electrocution deaths that sparked nationwide riots and mass arrests, with the new case now awaiting judicial review.
