The events took place during a GPSR intervention on the RER platform. According to a source close to the investigation, at the time of the tragedy, RATP security agents were carrying out checks on two men suspected of rolling a joint on the platform.

A control that would have degenerated
The Nanterre public prosecutor's office had initially opened an investigation for attempted homicide, after the GPSR agent was placed in police custody. “The investigations carried out by the BRF
(France network brigade, editor’s note) made it possible to clarify the legal characterization of the facts taking into account the causes of the fall such as the video surveillance and the witnesses heard made it possible to consider them at this stage, without retaining homicidal intent.specifies the Nanterre public prosecutor's office this Saturday evening.
A judicial investigation was opened into the charge of violence leading to total incapacity for work for more than eight days with two aggravating circumstances.
The agent was banned from practicing
The accused agent was presented to an investigating judge at the Nanterre court, who indicted him “of voluntary violence followed by incapacity for more than 8 days aggravated by the fact that the acts were committed by a person entrusted with a public service mission and in a place intended for access to a means of collective transport of travelers”adds the same source. As part of his judicial review, the agent received “a professional ban and a ban on contact with the victim and their loved ones”.
“The investigations will continue within this new legal framework to determine more precisely the circumstances of the action and the voluntary nature or not of it”concludes the prosecution.
