Macabre discovery in the forest of Ermenonville.
According to our information, the body of a man was found on Thursday by the gendarmes.
"The victim, a Moldovan national, was mortally wounded by a firearm and buried in the forest on the edge of CD 922 between Ermenonville and Mortefontaine", confirms to the Parisian the prosecution of the specialized interregional jurisdiction of Lille (JIRS), which opened an investigation for "organized homicide".
The Senlis prosecutor's office has for its part relinquished the case.
According to several corroborating sources, the man, who was found with a bullet in the head, could be the victim of a settling of accounts linked to cigarette trafficking.
A track that does not confirm the prosecution of Lille.
"Multiple investigations are in progress", answers only the jurisdiction.
Also according to our information, the victim would be an indicator who collaborated with the police in the context of the dismantling of this trafficking.
Research from Wednesday evening
As early as Wednesday evening, the authorities would have received an anonymous call warning them that his role would have been discovered. In the process, his cell phone would have been geolocated in the sector of the Ermenonville forest, where a team of gendarmes was deployed, accompanied by tracking dogs. After an interruption of the search during the night, the investigators returned to the site the next morning, where they found the body of the man buried.
One thing is certain, the gendarmerie operations took place with the utmost discretion, even if some inhabitants of the area were intrigued to see a helicopter pass on several occasions.
“So when my neighbor told me that the gendarmes were in the area, I thought that a prisoner had escaped.
We see convoys passing from time to time, ”continues a local resident.
But the hypothesis of a settling of scores is nonetheless credible for some.
“Ah that does not surprise me, assures a retiree.
We are not far from the highway in Chamant, there are often stories of drugs and contraband there!
