The procedure continues. Three weeks after the murder of Philippine in the Bois de Boulogne, the suspect arrested in Geneva, Switzerland, is still detained on this side of the Alps. Thursday October 10, 2024, the Minister of Justice Didier Migaud assured on the set of BFMTV-RMC thatan extradition request had been formulated by the French authorities.
“He was arrested in Switzerland. The extradition request was made by France on time. Now, the procedure must take its course,” indicated the Minister of Justice.
Judge the suspect in France
On September 21, the body of Philippine, 19, was found half-buried in the Bois de Boulogne (16th), a stone’s throw from Paris-Dauphine University where she was studying. The suspect, Taha O., was arrested three days later in Switzerland. Placed under OQTF after being convicted of rape, this 22-year-old Moroccan national was the subject of an arrest warrant for intentional homicide and rape of Philippine. After his arrest, he was placed in pre-trial detention.
He is now detained in Switzerland. So there is a guarantee in terms of its detention.
As a reminder, the French judicial authorities havea period of 18 days from the arrest of the suspect to request extradition. “The request was made yesterday [mercredi 9 octobre 2024, ndlr] and France will, of course, insist that this person is judged in France», underlined Didier Migaud.
