Will the investigation opened for assassination, and carried out by the gendarmes of the Paris research section after the death of Hamza from a bullet in the head in Nangis (Seine-et-Marne) on February 13, accelerate?
This Wednesday, the public prosecutor of Melun, Jean-Michel Bourlès, opened a judicial investigation for murder by an organized gang.
“This allows for broader investigation techniques,” he says.
He won't say more.
The excitement and concern remain in this town of 8,500 inhabitants.
This tragedy deeply shocked the residents of the Mare-aux-Curées district and beyond.
400 people participated in the silent march organized on February 16 by Hamza's parents.
The family has lived in the neighborhood since 2000. For everyone, many questions remain unanswered.
Why this execution of a young man aged 23, known for use and possession of drugs but not for trafficking?
Ten months earlier, it was Sidney who was found in his car on April 24, 2023, killed by a bullet to the heart, in a residential area of Nangis.
He was 22 years old.
The investigation is still ongoing by the Paris Research Section.
In a city recently excluded from the list of priority neighborhoods…
On February 28, Senator (PCF) Marianne Margate sent a written question to Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, Secretary of State for Citizenship and the City to the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin.
According to the elected communist, “this escalation of violence, linked to the scourge of drug trafficking, highlights the security and social challenges we face.
The Mare-aux-Curées district, particularly affected, lives in growing anxiety, amplified by a feeling of abandonment.
And to recall the “major incomprehension” linked to the exclusion of Nangis from the list of priority districts of the city (QPV), despite the decree of last December.
“This recognition would have freed up vital resources for targeted initiatives, supporting both urban renewal and social programs essential to social cohesion.”
The State is putting forward a specific contract for this district, that of the Small Towns of Tomorrow.
The senator requests "a detailed review and a significant increase in the resources allocated to this contract", but also a classification of the neighborhood in a priority security zone (ZSP), a global security strategy which reintroduces community policing at the heart of the model of prevention.
Mayor LR welcomes PCF senator's question to the government
Marianne Margaté also pleads “for a firm commitment from the State in the construction of the new gendarmerie barracks and a reinforced dialogue between associations, public services and the authorities to co-construct long-term solutions, tackling the roots of social unrest and violence.
".
Mayor (LR) of Nangis since 2020, Nolwenn Le Bouter stands together and says she is “glad that Marianne Margaté is going our way!
» The councilor and his team worked a lot with the State so that Nangis integrated the city's Priority Neighborhoods system, which provides significant funding to support actions.
“The disappointment was enormous for us and for the state services,” she confides, while remaining confident all the same.
“QPV or not, the problems are still there.
The State has assured us that we will benefit from different measures.
We are working on it with the Equal Opportunities Prefect.”
