Investigation – Aged 26 to 74, 50 men are on trial for rape of the same victim since Monday. The police’s work to identify them was greatly facilitated by the thousands of photos and videos taken by the husband.
A long and tedious job. On the third day of the trial in the Mazan case, the commissioner in charge of the case detailed on Wednesday how investigators went about finding Gisèle P.’s attackers, between analyzing telephone bills and using facial recognition software.
After having recorded some 200 rapes on the victim, between July 2011 and October 2020, most of them by her husband himself, the investigators finally drew up a list of 72 individuals remaining to be identified, explained before the criminal court of Vaucluse the divisional commissioner Jérémie Bosse Platière, now director of the interdepartmental police (DIPN) of the Hautes-Alpes.
Given the scale of the number of people suspected, the police will have to spread their arrests into five waves, between the end of 2020 and September 2021. At that time, 50 men were formally identified, in addition to the husband: aged 26 to 74, they have been on trial since Monday and until December 20, in Avignon, alongside Dominique P., 71. All risk up to 20 years of criminal imprisonment.
