Overview

• At a July 11 hearing in Colmar, Lelandais obtained a postponement of his domestic violence case to August 28 to prepare his defense.
• He faces charges for allegedly grabbing his partner’s neck and pulling her hair during a June 9 parloir at the Ensisheim central prison in front of their young son.
• The court imposed a ban on any communication between Lelandais and his companion or child, covering both visits and telephone calls until the next session.
• Prosecutor Jean Richert warned that Lelandais’s dangerousness remains “paroxystic” despite maximum-security detention and constant surveillance.
