"He was very familiar with police techniques, leaving no trace while keeping contact with his relatives", comments a sister.


He was wanted since a shooting that occurred in April 2016. A man, suspected of a double homicide four years ago in Grenoble, against a backdrop of settling of scores between drug traffickers, was arrested on Tuesday near Lyon, a-t - we learned Wednesday from police sources close to the case.

The fugitive, aged 37, "was targeted by an arrest warrant for murders and attempted murder in an organized gang [...] following a shooting," said the police source.

Gunshots in front of a school

The shots, which had also seriously injured a third man, took place in broad daylight in front of a primary school, causing a stir at the time.

This was "in the context of a wave of settling of scores then affecting the Grenoble conurbation", according to the police source.

The Grenoble judicial police, seized of the case, had very quickly identified a suspect, "a big Grenoble bandit, known as the white wolf and very involved in traffic", according to a source familiar with the case.

On several occasions, the Grenoble police officers thought of getting their hands on it, but without success.

The sleuths of the National Fugitive Search Brigade (BNRF), specialized in this type of cases, are then co-seized of the case in early 2020.

Five years in prison for extortion

"He was very familiar with police techniques, leaving no trace while maintaining contact with his relatives, probably continuing his various trafficking," said the close source.

The fugitive is finally located at the beginning of the week in Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost (Ain), in the great suburbs of Lyon.

A surveillance system of around twenty police officers was set up with the Lyon Research and Intervention Brigade (BRI), which called out to him without incident on Tuesday morning, shortly after leaving his apartment on foot.

The man was indicted and remanded in custody on Wednesday.

During his run, the thirty-something had already been sentenced by default in 2017 to five years in prison for an extortion case, according to a source close to the investigation.

"It's a very big catch, one of the biggest files" of the BNRF, welcomed this source.
