The attack against the Conflans-Sainte-Honorine teacher involves a whole network of informants, logistical accomplices and ideological supporters.

It’s an outstanding crime. Outstanding by its horror, by the political, social and moral shock wave that it has generated in French society, but also not standard because of the ongoing investigation to trace the unfolding of the facts and unravel the treasury responsabilities. The assassination of Samuel Paty, 47, on October 16, 2020, followed by a decapitation by Abdouallakh Anzorov, a Chechen refugee 18, near his college of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines) is simply brutal thanpple. And yet, the replenishment of the path that led the young terrorist to the professor of history-geography is of great complexity.
“This is an unprecedented file because of the wealth of its problems and the questions it raises. It touches on secularism, at school, parenthood, traffic on information on Social networks “, summarizes Virginie Le Roy, Paty family lawyer. What is also unpublished is the permanent round trip operated by the investigators between real and virtual worlds. Exchanges on social networks, all traces and content have not yet been updated, are followed by actions and consequences. Far from being the fruit of a pure individual initiative, Samuel Paty’s assassination involves a network of informants, logistics accomplices and ideological supporters.
Other peculiarity of the file, entrusted to the national anti-terrorist floor, the presence of many minors, which represent more than one third of the indicted. While we are still far from a closing of the instruction and a trial, which will not intervene before two or even three years, the question already arises from the form it will take. Indeed, minors can not be judged separately given their essential role in the file. We were heading towards a closed docking trial, which would be particularly painful for civil and frustrating parties from the point of view of public information. “The family of Samuel Paty hopes a lot from this investigation. She has the desire to understand exhaustively the gear that led to his death,” says the king.
To date, sixteen people were indicted, most for “complicity of terrorist assassination” or for “Association of criminal terrorist criminal”. We can store them in four categories.
The instigators
It can be considered that they are three. The girl who made a fallacious story of Samuel Paty’s course. His father, Brahim Chnina, who broadcast two videos and several posts on Facebook against Mr. Paty Treaty of “Voyou”. He also broadcast his videos to his long list of contacts on WhatsApp, alerting the activist Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who made a video of protest on YouTube.
