Certainly, Marie-Thérèse Garcia, 77, was indicted and imprisoned on May 25 for the murder of her ex-sister-in-law and for “arrest, kidnapping, detention or sequestration by an organized gang”.
The acts with which she is accused were allegedly committed in Yvelines between June 19, 1995 (date of the disappearance of this 37-year-old woman) and June 28, 1995, the day of the discovery of her dismembered and decapitated body in a trunk floating on the Seine.
But the criminal scenario and the role that justice attributes to Marie-Thérèse Garcia still remain nebulous.
Despite several requests for release filed in recent months by her lawyers and a precarious state of health, “Mamie Trésor” (a nickname given by some of her relatives) is kept in pre-trial detention at the remand center. women of Versailles (Yvelines).
According to the Versailles investigating chamber which ruled on this subject at the end of December, there are "sufficient serious or consistent evidence" against Marie-Thérèse Garcia justifying her being suspected of having participated , as “author or accomplice” to the murder and kidnapping of Corinne Di Dio.
To justify the continued pre-trial detention of this septuagenarian grandmother, the magistrates invoke a risk of pressure on witnesses, a risk of flight and the existence of a disturbance of public order, taking into account in particular "the particularly sordid nature of this crime which remains unsolved to this day.
