Overview
- Four officers were placed under formal investigation on October 2 for failure to assist a person in danger, according to judicial sources.
- Two additional officers brought from Mayotte were presented to the investigating judge on October 3, with one charged for failure to assist and aggravated violence and the other for failure to assist.
- The latest actions follow days of questioning in Marseille, with several officers summoned and some held in police custody.
- The victim, 19 at the time and identified in reports as Maria (Angelina), was hit by an LBD round and then beaten, suffering a skull fracture and lasting physical and psychological injuries.
- In 2020, the investigating judge concluded the assailants were police officers, but earlier efforts stalled after missing surveillance footage, absent Pégase tracking data, and uncooperative on-scene accounts led to two quashed non-prosecution orders.
