This Friday, September 27, the family of Philippine, found dead on Saturday, September 21 in the Bois de Boulogne, declined the financial assistance offered by Valérie Pécresse to cover legal costs, believing that the online prize pool will be enough, CNEWS learned from the entourage of the president of the regional council.
The funeral of Philippine, the young 19-year-old student whose body was found buried in the Bois de Boulogne on Saturday September 21 evening, took place this Friday September 27 in Versailles. Among those who attended this last farewell to the victim was the president of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse.
The day before, during a plenary session of the regional council, the elected official had expressed her desire to financially help Philippine’s family, in particular to cover legal costs and the modalities were being examined, as the Île-de-France region had indicated to CNEWS.
“Not only is this family broken by grief and pain. But in addition, she finds herself obliged to pay attorney fees for the law to prevail. It’s just a dramatic and totally unfair situation,” Valérie Pécresse said this Thursday.
However, according to those close to President LR of the regional council contacted by CNEWS, Philippine’s family declined the offer of financial aid, believing that the online prize pool, launched on the Leetchi platform, will be sufficient.
“The Sorority”, the application which made it possible to relay the disappearance of Philippine
This announcement was made by Valérie Pécresse herself during the permanent commission held this Friday morning. Therefore, still according to our information, the president of the Ile-de-France region would consider granting this aid to the association “The Sorority”, which had issued the wanted notice when Philippine disappeared on Friday September 20. The final decision will be taken following the vote of the next standing committee, we are told.
Contacted by CNEWS, the application “The Sorority” indicated that the wanted notice “was broadcast via our internal news feed and thus disseminated to our 110,000 users who relayed it on their networks and mobilized” .
For this, “The Sorority” claims to have been contacted by someone close to Philippine’s family. He then asked if the application could support the victim’s family “in this search to try to find her as quickly as possible.” “It was not an alert but information that we ourselves disseminated,” concluded “The Sorority”.
Reserved only for women and “people from gender minorities who feel insecure”, this application, created in 2020, allows you to activate an alarm to signal that you feel in danger.
