Blocking of high schools: three minors, implicated in the attack on a police officer on October 1 in Paris, released

“N**** your mother”, “Dirty p***”, “Wallah kill her”: on October 1, on the sidelines of high school demonstrations, a police officer was attacked by a gang of young people on Avenue Gambetta, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. After a brief chase during which the young trainee lieutenant, who intervened as reinforcement at Place Auguste-Métivier, in the 11th arrondissement, was showered with insults, she found herself on the ground, swept away by one of the protagonists. A hail of blows followed under the gaze of several young people who did not fail to film the scene. Fortunately, the official escaped without any physical injury.

Quickly going viral, the video attracted the attention of the Paris prosecutor's office, which opened an investigation entrusted to the territorial security (ST) into the leaders of violence in meetings against a person holding public authority. A few days later, one of the individuals suspected of having kicked the policewoman in the back, a 15-year-old boy, unknown to the courts, was placed in police custody. On Monday October 11, two other suspects aged 16, one suspected of having given a “brush” and the other of having filmed and broadcast the scene on social networks, were also placed in police custody.

All were convicted at first instance, but none were detained following the trial. They thus left the court free. A decision which did not convince the Paris prosecutor's office, which decided to appeal. A call which ultimately resulted in nothing, assures Europe 1 this Thursday. Information that we are able to confirm. In the decision rendered by the Correctional Appeals Chamber, it is mentioned that the first minor, the one who had kicked the policewoman in the back, did not appear at the hearing.

He was still placed under judicial supervision with a ban on leaving his home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., an obligation to attend school, a ban on contacting the co-perpetrators and the victim, and an obligation to undergo psychological monitoring. The court also confirmed the provisional judicial educational measure. As for the second minor, accused of being the author of the brush, a provisional judicial educational measure with a ban on leaving his home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and a ban on contact with the co-perpetrators and the victim was also decided. The last defendant, who filmed the scene and uttered insults against the policewoman, escaped judicial control. He will nevertheless have to comply with a provisional judicial educational measure.

These decisions “relate only to the safety measures for these three minors, pending the hearing at the Paris judicial court, the date of which remains unchanged, namely February 23, 2027 before the children’s court,” recalls the Paris prosecutor’s office to Le Figaro. Still, the dissemination of this information makes the police cringe. For the National Police Alliance union, it is a “shame”: “A colleague hunted down with cries of “KILL HER!”, thrown to the ground, kicked. The whole of France saw these unbearable images. The 3 minors involved are free! This is the symbol of our legal bankruptcy! IMPUNITY KILLS AUTHORITY!”, he lamented on X.
