Youssef, 33, appears from this Monday, January 29 before the Paris criminal court, for having, on August 22, 2020, committed violence resulting in death, under the influence of alcohol and accompanied by Racist Thoughts. His lawyer, Me Maxime Cavaillé, intends to plead in favor of self-defense.
“My client wanted nothing to happen that night, he never made contact with the victims and did not strike the first blows,” notes the council.
