“No, there is no accident“, affirmed for his part Yassine Bouzrou on franceinfo. “Various elements allow me to state with certainty that the police vehicle attempted to come into contact with the motorcycle by cutting off its path.“, assured the lawyer of Sefa’s family, who will file a complaint against the police for attempted intentional homicide.”I affirm on the basis of a witness present who saw the police vehicle going at high speed towards this motorcycle to hit it” said the family’s lawyer.
The events took place around 6:20 p.m. in the Nouveaux Horizons district, in Elancourt. The teenager was spotted by a police patrol while riding a mini motorbike without a helmet. This patrol then decides to follow him from a distance with the flashing lights on, but without a siren. There is no evidence at this stage that the young man was performing stunts or driving dangerously. Doubts also exist as to whether he was aware of being followed by the police. The young man was then traveling at high speed and collided head-on with a second police car which was coming from an intersection. This second vehicle intervened to reinforce the first to try to position itself upstream of the motorcycle.
On Wednesday evening, the public prosecutor had initially indicated the death of Sefa, contradicted on Thursday by the family’s lawyer, affirming that the teenager was “in a state of brain death”. Yassine Bouzrou confirmed to franceinfo having asked “the total change of scenery” of the investigation, estimating “that the Versailles public prosecutor’s office is not capable of handling this matter properly“.
