Recall of facts
The violence that took place on June 15, 2020 in Côte-d’Or, would be according to the territorial intelligence services of Aube, starting from a message sent via Snapchat on June 11, where a member of the Chechen community resident in the suburbs of Troy called for the rally: “For the brothers from Dijon and the surrounding area.” where he recounted an incident between: “Arabs aged 25 to 30 and two Chechens aged 19 and 15.” According to this message, the former allegedly beat the latter, so the man behind the Snap claimed: “Now it’s up to us to allow him to take revenge and restore our image.” The public prosecutor neither denied nor confirmed that the Trojan resident placed in pre-trial detention was the one who had caused this message: “For the sake of the investigation.”
The Aube territorial intelligence service had warned
As of June 12, the territorial intelligence service (ex-RG) of Aube had moreover, and first, written an alarmist note entitled “Chechens: call for punitive expedition to Dijon”. Preparing for a descent is therefore indeed detected, and its dangerousness correctly assessed. The note on the expedition in preparation follows the classic circuit: Central Service of Territorial Intelligence in Paris, Regional Direction of Dijon and Prefecture of Aube.
On the other hand, the territorial intelligence envisages action by the Chechen community later since it places it between June 15 and 19. In reality, things are rushing. During the night of June 12 to 13, the Chechens went to Dijon where they faced young people from the Grésilles district in particular. “Territorial intelligence had detected a project without knowing its date or scope”sums up a good connoisseur of the file.
