The second suspect arrested as part of the investigation into the attack on three plainclothes police officers in the Guillotière district of Lyon has been indicted and imprisoned, said the Lyon prosecutor’s office.
Three police officers were violently attacked on July 20 in Lyon, while trying to arrest a man suspected of having committed a snatch robbery. Since then, the affair has taken on a national dimension with multiple reactions and the visit of the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to the Guillotière district.
A 26-year-old man was arrested on Saturday July 30, taken into custody and presented to the investigating judge on Monday August 1. The individual was charged and remanded in custody.
“According to everyone’s opinion, security in Lyon, and more particularly in the Guillotière district, is worrying. Improving the situation requires everyone’s commitment, responsibility and without dogmatism”.
The Minister of the Interior has drawn up a list of proposals addressed directly to the Lyon municipality:
“You can thus issue anti-assembly orders, limited to specific times and days, in order to prevent the gathering of individuals who create insecurity and disturb public order”.
Proposals that the municipality has not ruled out “study”.
During the visit of the Minister of the Interior to Lyon, Grégory Doucet had refused to meet him and had gone the day before to Place Gabriel Péri, the epicenter circumscribed of problems of disturbances to public order. A place, in a neighborhood with very different realities depending on its sectors, but which has become an epicenter of the security issue in France.
