Overview

• President Emmanuel Macron presides over memorial events in Caen and Vendin-le-Vieil, marking one year since the deaths of Fabrice Moello and Arnaud Garcia during Mohamed Amra's escape.
• A commemorative plaque is unveiled at the Incarville toll, where the attack occurred, though the victims' families chose not to attend the ceremony there.
• The high-security prison at Vendin-le-Vieil is being prepared to house 100 major drug traffickers, part of reforms prompted by the escape and subsequent manhunt.
• Mohamed Amra, who escaped custody during the attack and was recaptured after a nine-month manhunt, remains in isolation at the ultra-secure Condé-sur-Sarthe prison.
• The incident has driven legislative and infrastructural changes, including the narcotrafic bill and enhanced measures to prevent organized crime within the prison system.
