Sister of Samuel Paty Files Legal Action Against Conflans-Sainte-Honorine for Security Failures

Mickaëlle Paty alleges that the municipality's inaction despite known threats contributed to her brother's 2020 murder by a terrorist.

Mickaëlle Paty, sister of the murdered teacher Samuel Paty, has filed a legal claim against the city of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, accusing it of failing to ensure adequate security measures.
Her lawyer asserts that the mayor, Laurent Brosse, was aware of threats against Samuel Paty but chose not to mobilize municipal police to protect him or the school area.
The family argues that this alleged negligence facilitated the conditions leading to the 2020 terrorist attack that claimed Samuel Paty's life.
This legal action follows previous efforts by the family to hold the French state accountable for not preventing the attack, with ongoing cases still under review.
The municipality has yet to respond publicly to the allegations, while legal proceedings may escalate to the administrative tribunal in Nice if no resolution is reached.
