The nascent political career of 19-year-old Zakaria Zigh is already on the wane. It is unlikely that this young running mate of Karim Bouamrane (PS) sits on the benches of the majority, within the new municipal council of Saint-Ouen: last night, he was arrested while riding on a stolen scooter , before being placed in police custody. He has since been released and "is the subject of a legal reminder," said the Bobigny prosecution.
He occupied 27th place on the Reinvent Saint-Ouen list, and was therefore in an eligible position (32 seats will be allocated to future training). Benjamin of the team, Zakaria Zigh should even have had the privilege of being designated session secretary, for the installation of the new municipal team this Saturday at 3 p.m., Barbara room.
"I asked him to withdraw from political life"
"I asked him to withdraw from municipal political life," said Karim Bouamrane, head of the PS list, victorious (38.08%) on Sunday from William Delannoy (32.52%), the outgoing UDI, and called to take a seat in the mayor's chair this Saturday.
The young man was checked while riding a stolen scooter Thursday after midnight, rue Godillot. The Bac police detect four men who are driving at high speed on two scooters without a license plate.
To escape the police, two wheels use prohibited directions and commit several other offenses. Seeing no way out of the chase, the fugitives abandoned the vehicles on the public highway and fled running. But a second police crew manages to block them.
To the police, he declares that he is a municipal councilor
One of them will ingeniously point out that he is on the list of “new mayor”, Karim Bouamrane, and will specify a little too quickly “that he is a municipal councilor”, the elected officials not to be officially designated until this Saturday. The scooters have been recovered. It turns out that these were stolen vehicles.
Karim Bouamrane would have done well for one of his teammates getting off the road. He says: “I am fully committed to the integrity and probity of my team. I will summon him as soon as possible so that he can explain himself and I will take the necessary measures so that this reprehensible act does not cast reproach on a team which behaved in an exemplary manner during the campaign. "
