These suspects had been placed in police custody for degradation, violence with a weapon by destination (throwing of projectiles) and participation in a violent group.
But according to the prosecution, "
the investigations did not make it possible to highlight these facts, including on the video-protection images
" "
The police custody was lifted and the case closed for unconstitutional offenses
", has said the same source to AFP.
Mayor Pierre Hurmic had spoken on the spot of "
anti-demonstration actions and anti-gay-pride actions
".
The prosecution clarified that no complaint for "
insults on the basis of sexual orientation
" had been filed at this stage, while adding that "
if this were the case,
".
In addition, the investigation is continuing after the partial collapse of the metal structure of a Pride March tank on the crowd, which left 6 injured, including 3 seriously, at the end of the afternoon on Sunday.
The investigations will have to determine if a first passage of the tank in the branches of trees could contribute to weaken a structure which would have been badly secured.
"
Many hearings and verifications, in particular technical must be carried out
" in the coming days, said the prosecution.
