the truth

“
The family wants the truth about the circumstances of the death and that all the light be shed with a serious investigation
”, announced Me Nabil Boudi, who calls for “
the opening of a judicial investigation
”.
On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, the 18-year-old Grenoble girl was killed while she was in a vehicle chased by the police after a refusal to comply.

'Morally affected'
The suspect, who made use of his right to silence while in police custody, was indicted on Thursday, in particular for "
attempted murder of persons holding public authority
", "
possession of a category B weapon
" and “
Driving under the influence of alcohol and narcotics
”, before being imprisoned.
At the same time, an investigation by the IGPN has been opened and a ballistic expertise will be carried out to determine which weapon hit the young passenger who, according to the prosecution, was "
fatally hit by a single shot in the neck
" .

The custody of three police officers involved in the shooting was lifted Wednesday evening without prosecution at this stage.
"
We are waiting for the first acts of investigation and its criminal qualifications before deciding whether to file a complaint or if we are a civil party
," said the family lawyer.
The latter also demands from the police unions, the police, the prosecution and the press "
a little more respect in the evocation of the young girl, killed in despicable, dramatic conditions, regardless of the contours of the 'case
