Dear readers,
Will the writings written by the hand of Delphine Jubillar and her Snapchat exchanges with her lover tip the investigation? Who is really responsible for the death of the young Lindsay, who committed suicide in Vendin-le-Vieil in the Pas-de-Calais? The children suspected of school bullying, the college that would not have taken adequate measures, or the police commissioner of Lens who did not react after the filing of the complaint? What will become of the migrant youth camp on Rue Erlanger in the 16th arrondissement of Paris? As every Sunday, Le Figaro offers you a dive into the judicial and police affairs of the week through our reports, stories and unpublished archives.
Happy reading Sunday,
Margaux d'Adhémar, journalist at the "Faits divers" division of Le Figaro.

Records of the week
- Unprecedented exchanges between Delphine Jubillar and her lover, extension of the detention of the husband suspected of murder
While Cédric Jubillar is still behind bars (the judge of freedoms and detention having extended his detention in order to avoid "the risk of pressure on witnesses"), unprecedented exchanges between Delphine Jubillar and her lover, unveiled by Le Figaro, as well as notes written by the nurse about his departure from the matrimonial home could tip the investigation.
- Lindsay's suicide: the lawyer multiplies the filing of complaints
After the suicide of Lindsay, the 13-year-old victim of school bullying who ended her life on May 12, the family's lawyer filed a series of complaints. Against the principal of the college, first. Then against the rector. But also against the police commissioner of Lens, Facebook and Instagram.
In this case, four minors were indicted for "school harassment leading to suicide". A judicial investigation was opened by the Béthune prosecutor's office and an administrative investigation by the rectorate of the Lille academy. Le Figaro spoke exclusively with the victim's lawyer. He believes that, "if everyone had done their job, she [Lindsay Editor's note] would be with us today."
- A school squatted by migrants in the heart of the 16th arrondissement
Prefects must now set up "temporary reception airlocks" for migrants in the regions. If this instruction of the government raises serious concerns within the small municipalities, in Paris, illegal immigrants have been piling up for two months in the 16th arrondissement, rue Erlanger.
On site, Le Figaro went to meet these 500 young people from Ivory Coast, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Sudan, or Afghanistan. Their living conditions are deplorable. They could leave the premises by the end of the month, following an eviction request filed by the City of Paris. A hearing is scheduled for June 12 at the Paris Regional Court.
The story
His mother, Stéphanie D., opted for homeschooling. Nothing reprehensible a priori. But Stephanie is also suspected of abusing her own son. In question: his thinness (27 kilos for 1.47 meters) and the absence of vaccinations. Social services became concerned and the mother has since been investigated for "evading legal obligations by a parent that endangers the health, safety, morals or education of her child", as well as for "deprivation of care or maintenance".
Something to be alarmed about. And yet, Pierre-Alexandre (name changed to preserve the anonymity of the minor) claims to have never lacked anything. Le Figaro wanted to check and spoke exclusively with this young boy who prefers museums, antique dealers and libraries to video games and social networks.

Yesterday's fact
Thirty years ago, in its edition of June 2, 1993, Le Figaro wondered about the increase in violent acts among very young people. Two days earlier, a gang of high school students had beaten to death a 17-year-old boy for a banal story of jealousy in love. Many other recent news items involving minors of ten or eleven years old alerted specialists at the time.
«
These children know a universe without landmarks, explained sociologist Sophie Body-Gendrot, pointing to the violence of television. So they live with the impression that anything goes." For his colleague Adil Jazouli, author of a report on the suburbs, the precocity of youth violence was partly explained by the exclusion felt by children who say to themselves, from nine or ten years old, "it's fucked up". Without "any confidence in the social rule", they then become "real desperados". "We must both punish harshly and develop social prevention," he advocated while deploring the ineffectiveness of the measures in force.

To read, to see
We knew the show on France 2, and now we discover the book. Professor of criminology Alain Bauer and presenter Marie Drucker have teamed up to write a book that retraces the main episodes of their show: "Au bout de l'enquête" (published by First Editions) looks back at 20 cold-cases deemed insoluble that have marked an era, a region. A compendium of stories that, beyond the news item, tells a side of the history of French society.
