broadcast on social networks in January 2021, the ultraviolet images of the assault of Yuriy, a 15 -year -old teenager, struck with kicks, hammer or iron bars by a group of ten young people Men on the slab of the Beaugrenelle shopping center in Paris had sparked a wave of national indignation and solidarity, until a reaction from the Head of State.

Eighteen months after these facts, while Yuriy, physically recovered, remains very psychologically very affected, thirteen adolescents, of which eleven minors, will be sent back to justice for “attempted assassination”. The order made by investigating judges makes it possible to better understand a deadly gear of futile rivalries between two districts and two bands of adolescents, provocations on social networks in punitive expeditions, then in retaliation, to the drama.

Still aware after his passage to tobacco, on January 15, 2021 on the Beaugrenelle slab, Yuriy murmurs the first witnesses, rushed on the spot, the origin of his attackers: “The sons of Pute de Vanves.” He also asks them to hide the screwdriver that the teenager had on him that day. The band of Vanves (Hauts-de-Seine), which has its Snapchat group, has its own name: Bambes, or 2BS. It has around twenty adolescents from 13 to 18 years old. And for a few weeks, Bambes has been in conflict with RD4 -or 4FP -, another band, named in reference to the rue des Four -Frères -Peignot, which adjoins the Beaugrenelle shopping center, a stone’s throw from the Eiffel Tower, In the 15 e arrondissement of Paris.

Provocation, revenge…

Despite the dozens of hearings carried out by the investigators, the original reason for the rivalry between the two groups remains unclear. A classmate from Yuriy will speak of a “provocation” led by Bambes at the very beginning of 2021, who would have continued on the Internet. On January 10, five days before the assault of the adolescent, another young man, G-M, a “2006” (his year of birth), as these teenagers formulate, was taken to task at the port of Javel, in the 15 e , by members of RD4. A video, still available, shows G-M the face in blood. A voice asks him: “Excuse yourself, say RD4, say RD4. Are you going to come back? Are you going to come back to the slab?” He’s thrown on the ground. He will end up in the emergency room, with a fracture of a finger and several wounds. Yuriy will confirm the investigators to have been present during this assault.
