While Philippine’s body was found on September 21 buried in the Bois de Boulogne, the main suspect, Taha Oualidat, was extradited to France and handed over to the French authorities.
Taha Oualidat, main suspect in Philippine’s murder in September, was arrested in Switzerland. Although he had initially refused his extradition to France, the AFP indicated on Monday October 4 that his extradition was to take place this Wednesday October 6.
According to information from BFMTV, the surrender of the suspect took place, without incident. The delivery took place in Haute-Savoie, in the town of Annemasse.
He will then be presented to an investigating judge
He will then be handed over to the prison administration, then to the Paris courthouse, before being presented to an investigating judge. The man was interviewed by the public prosecutor of the canton of Geneva on Monday October 4 and had once again expressed his consent to extradition to France.
The 19-year-old young woman was found dead and buried in the Bois de Boulogne last September. A few days later, the main suspect was arrested in Geneva, Switzerland.
France then submitted an extradition request to the Swiss Federal Ministry of Justice. A request that the suspect, Taha Oualidat, had initially refused before changing his mind, “after discussing it” with his lawyer in Switzerland Maître Florence Yersin.
