Two Police Officers to Stand Trial December 1 Over A4 Motorcyclist Collision

Prosecutors chose aggravated-violence charges, which the rider’s lawyer says understate an attempted homicide.

Overview

  • The officers have been placed under judicial supervision with a ban on performing duties on public roads.
  • They are summoned before the Créteil correctional court on December 1 to answer aggravated-violence charges.
  • The case stems from an October 14 incident on the A4 near Charenton-le-Pont captured on video showing a police car contacting a motorcycle.
  • The motorcyclist, Hugo, 36, filed an IGPN complaint on October 20 alleging attempted murder by a public official using a vehicle as a weapon.
  • Lawyer Arié Alimi says he will challenge the correctional court’s jurisdiction and seek proceedings consistent with attempted homicide.
