The home stretch. Before the requisitions of the attorneys general in the case of the assassination of Samuel Paty, those of the civil parties put their heart into the work to demonstrate the shared guilt of the eight accused on December 14. Efforts perhaps due to “subsidiary questions” asked by the national anti-terrorism prosecution, which could have serious consequences. Certain defendants would be likely to see their charges revised downwards, such as the qualification of complicity in terrorist assassination and terrorist criminal association…
Maître Cabusolo Ferro, representing part of the Bois d’Aulne college and the French Association of Victims of Terrorism (AFVT), therefore does not mince his words. “Mr. Chnina and Mr. Sefrioui have put the college in the axis of Abdoullakh Anzorov’s knife,” he says, “and I mean Mr. Sefrioui! » Indeed, a few days earlier, the Islamist preacher boasted of not having disclosed any crucial information in his video and that it had never been seen by the terrorist. However, a doubt remains, since the Chechen referred to the speech given by Emmanuel Macron at Les Mureaux in his demands, like the self-proclaimed representative of the imans of France…
The lawyer for the former principal of the college adds: “He is an arsonist who blames the firefighters for not putting out the fire he blows on. » He mocks the cunning of Sefrioui, “always on the limit” in public, but behind, capable of spitting on his daughter and calling her a dirty Jew. If the men and women of the law concentrate their efforts on the two protagonists, they nevertheless forget the six others, starting with Azim Epsirkhanov and Nassim Boudaoud. “How did “his brothers” manage not to see? » asks Thibault de Montbrial, lawyer for one of Samuel Paty’s sisters.
However, the first city was afraid of ending up “on S file” by remaining in contact with Anzorov – who did not even hide his desire to leave for Syria – while the second served as his driver. He could even guess his dark design on October 16. “You have to be a miro not to see that it was a college,” said one of the minors convicted of complicity in this attack during his testimony at the bar three weeks earlier.
Yusuf Cinar, who fell asleep “while watching beheading videos”, Louqmane Ingar, and Priscilla Mangel, are also far from being exempt from all reproach. This 36-year-old woman married to Sami Garouz (sentenced to 14 years in prison for terrorist conspiracy) is best known on social networks as “Sugary Scar” or “Cicats”. She did not hesitate to add fuel to the fire, as when she told Anzorov that “Samuel Paty will not have any sanctions”. For his part, Ismail Gamaev passes slightly between the balls. Even if the lawyers remain circumspect about his deradicalization in prison, he at least had the courage to confess everything and plead guilty: “I have enticed people, one of whom took action…”
Ultimately, if justice must be done, it is for the visible and invisible scars that this attack will leave forever on the collateral victims. Multiple post-traumatic stress syndromes, life becoming a daily struggle, especially for Mickaëlle Paty, one of the sisters of the murdered professor. During her pleading, her lawyer, Pauline Ragot, speaks on behalf of “this little piece of woman, sometimes intimidating”. The nurse anesthetist promised “Samu” to fight for both of them and finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel with the deliberation scheduled for December 20.
The last word will be left to Maître Francis Szpiner. The former mayor of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, representative of the son of Samuel Paty and his ex-wife, therefore put pressure on the judges: “Thomas (the name has been changed) has become a ward of the Nation. You judge in the name of the people, in the name of the Nation, he is now your child and I trust you to protect him. »
