Beyond the shock wave and the emotion aroused by this murder, the Oualidat affair raises many questions about the management of foreign offenders. How to strengthen the monitoring of those targeted by an OQTF? Should we extend administrative detention and strengthen controls to prevent them from evading their expulsion? Should we systematically apply prison sentences to repeat offenders?
For Philippine's loved ones, these questions unfortunately seem very distant in the face of the atrocity of the loss they must face. The brilliant student was buried on September 27 during a very moving ceremony in the Saint-Louis Cathedral in Versailles, in the presence of thousands of people. The investigation will have to determine the exact circumstances of his death and the reasons for the suspect's action.
“She was a daughter, a sister, a darling fiancée who wanted to start a family, a beloved godmother. Philippine did everything before everyone else, she liked to make jokes and formed a fantastic partner with her cousin. She was very loved.”– Philippine’s family in the booklet distributed during her funeral
Beyond the legitimate controversy over the flaws in the judicial system, let us not forget above all Philippine, a bright and promising young woman cut down in the prime of her life, and the unfathomable pain of those close to her. His murder must call into question the gaping deficiencies in the management of repeat foreign offenders to prevent other tragedies from happening again in the future.

France
The murder of Philippine, a brilliant student, by Taha Oualidat, a Moroccan migrant under OQTF, arouses indignation. Indicted, the suspect had a serious history. The investigation reveals the flaws in a system that…
It is a matter which arouses great emotion in France. Taha Oualidat, a 22-year-old Moroccan migrant subject to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF), was indicted for the murder of Philippine Le Noir de Carlan, a brilliant 19-year-old student whose body was found on September 21 in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris.
A model student broke in her youth
Philippine was described by everyone as a bright and brilliant young woman. Coming from a close-knit Catholic family, she was the eldest of six children. A 3rd year economics student at the prestigious Paris-Dauphine University despite her young age, she was unanimously praised for her intelligence, seriousness and kindness. Very involved in her parish and in the scouts, she dreamed of starting a family with her fiancé Thibault.
His absence on Friday September 20 immediately alerted his relatives who launched a search, enabling his body to be found the next day. The violence of his death and the sunny personality of the victim aroused an immense wave of emotion and indignation.
A suspect with a heavy legal record
Very quickly, suspicion fell on Taha Oualidat, a Moroccan who arrived in France in 2019. According to a source close to the case, his DNA was found at the crime scene and witnesses reportedly saw him nearby, hiding his face. and carrying a pickaxe. Arrested in Switzerland three days after the discovery of the body, he was indicted for murder preceded or accompanied by another crime, in this case possibly rape.
The profile of the suspect sparked controversy. Upon his arrival in France in 2019, he raped a 23-year-old student on a forest path, not far from his home. Sentenced to 7 years in prison, he had not served his entire sentence. Placed in an administrative detention center last June with a view to his expulsion, he was released in September by a judge despite recognition of his dangerousness, on the grounds of a lack of guarantees of representation of Morocco. The next day, the country gave the green light but Oualidat had already disappeared into the wild, respecting neither the tally nor the house arrest.
A controversy over the dysfunctions of justice
This journey sparked a lively controversy over the shortcomings of the justice system in monitoring foreign offenders. How could a repeat rapist be released despite his dangerousness? Why was he not immediately searched for and arrested after breaking his house arrest? “This case tragically illustrates the gaping flaws in our system of executing sentences and removing criminal foreigners,” commented an opposition leader.
