On July 26, the first of the three suspects, a 26 -year -old man, in an irregular situation and without a criminal record, had been indicted for aggravated voluntary violence on police official and he had been placed in pre -trial detention. He “did not challenge the facts” and “apologized”, said M e Laurent Bohé, lawyer for the victims. On Monday, a second suspect, of the same age, was also prosecuted for a similar reason and then imprisoned.
On the evening of July 20, two of the three assaulted police officers had been injured by trying with their colleague to arrest a person suspected of theft, in the middle of a crowd who had violently taken them to task. Broadcast shortly after on social networks, a video showed the three plainclothes police, two men and a woman, wipe strokes and projectile jets in front of the entrance to a mini -market.
A first suspect had first been arrested and then put out of the case. Safety at La Guillotière is a subject of strong controversies – in particular concerning the strengthening of the municipal police and the installation of video protection cameras – between the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin and the Lyonnais ecological mayor Grégory Doucet. The two men must be in Lyon on September 5 to discuss the situation.
