More than thirty-eight years after the anti-Semitic attack of August 9, 1982, which left 6 dead and 22 wounded, the rue des Rosiers affair has just experienced a dramatic turnaround and yet another delay.
On December 4, one of the suspected killers, Walid Abdulrahman Abou Zayed, 62, was extradited to France from Norway where he had lived since 1991. Waited for by the French courts since 2015, he was indicted for "assassinations" and “Attempted assassinations” and remanded in custody.
But the judge in charge of the investigation immediately seized the Paris Court of Appeal of a possible procedural error: the interpreter in Arabic did not sign the document notifying the suspect of his rights.
The court will debate it on March 10 before making its decision.
According to several judicial sources, this incident should not however upset a procedure which could still last one or two years.
