The face-to-face confrontation brings together the occupants of the car driven by Nahel on one side, and the law enforcement on the other. The scene thus opposes the two passengers of the vehicle to the police officers present at the scene.
First confrontation between the parties involved in the Nahel case in Nanterre
The first meeting between the different parties involved in the investigation into the death of Nahel in Nanterre took place on Monday, July 15 in the afternoon. This was reported by franceinfo from the lawyer of the police officer who fired the fatal shot, confirming information from RTL. Indeed, Nahel, aged 17, was killed on June 27, 2023 by a police officer after refusing to comply in a street in Nanterre, triggering three nights of riots in France.
As part of this case, this confrontation marks a first face-to-face between the two passengers of the vehicle driven by Nahel on one side, and on the other side the police officer and his partner. According to Laurent-Franck Lienard, the lawyer of the police officer who shot Nahel, the confrontation began at 2 pm in the office of the investigating judges.
The investigation continues
Two investigating judges are working to establish the exact circumstances of the teenager’s death. Nahel’s family is waiting for a trial to be held in order to be able to move on with their lives, as mentioned by a cousin of Nahel during a memorial march organized one year after the tragedy. The police officer, suspected of shooting Nahel, has been indicted for murder. He was released in November after four months of pre-trial detention, and is currently under judicial supervision.
