Nice Moulins Shooting: Three More Suspects Charged, Bringing Total to Five

Prosecutors are pursuing organized-crime murder charges in a cross-regional investigation.

Overview

  • Two of the newly charged suspects were remanded in custody, while a third was placed under judicial supervision following their presentation to an investigating judge on October 21.
  • The three suspects, aged 18 to 23 and originating from the Gard area, were arrested in recent days, including operations in Nîmes by BRI units from Marseille and Hérault.
  • Two earlier suspects were arrested on October 8 and jailed after being placed under formal investigation by a Marseille JIRS judge.
  • The case stems from the October 3 attack in the Moulins neighborhood of Nice that left two people dead and five wounded.
  • Investigators are probing logistics tied to Marseille, including a Peugeot 3008 with false plates reported stolen on September 30, as they work to identify remaining members of the commando.
