The anti-terrorist prosecution requested on Friday August 5 the referral to the special assize court of a woman and six men belonging to the entourage of the author of the attacks in Trèbes and Carcassonne in March 2018, which had left four dead including the Lieutenant-Colonel Arnaud Beltrame, AFP learned from a source familiar with the matter.
The investigations, which lasted four years, concluded that the assailant, Radouane Lakdim - killed on the spot - had acted without an accomplice but benefited from logistical and intellectual assistance in the preparation of his attacks, marked by the courageous gesture of Arnaud Beltrame.
The 45-year-old gendarme had given himself up as a hostage in place of a woman before being slaughtered.
