This is a first: this research does not target a particular victim but many potential victims who could have crossed paths with one of these criminals, explains the regional daily.
Justice now authorizes the investigation of convicted criminals suspected of having committed other misdeeds.
Nordahl Lelandais, who is the target of one of these investigations, was sentenced on February 18, 2022 to life imprisonment for the murder of little Maëlys De Araujo in August 2017, when he was already serving a sentence of 20 years in prison for the murder of a young soldier.
Belgian sexual pervert Willy Van Compernolle, also under investigation, has already been convicted 30 times in Belgium for sexual assault.
He had also been sentenced to life in France in 1995 for the murder of a little boy in 1993, in the Gard.
Patrice Alègre, he was sentenced in 2002 to life imprisonment, accompanied by a 22-year security sentence, for the murder of five women, six rapes, as well as an attempted murder.
