"Despicable messages", a few days before the opening in Paris of the trial of the attack.
Christian Estrosi says he wants to take legal action after the broadcast on social networks of images of the truck that killed 86 people during the July 14, 2016 attack in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes).
The mayor of Nice denounces the dissemination of "despicable messages referring to the attack".
According to Anthony Borré, first deputy mayor of Nice, quoted by BFMTV, these messages would have been broadcast on social networks by supporters of Olympique de Marseille.
A few days before the start of the trial, despicable messages referring to the #Nice06 attack are broadcast on social networks.
We're going to go to the prosecutor.
I appeal to the responsibility of broadcasters.
I am thinking of the victims and their loved ones.
