Matthieu Valet indicated that he decided to refer the matter to the prosecutor of the Republic of Paris under Article 40 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. He stated that a "street reporter" had deliberately tripped a police officer the day before, at the Place de la Nation in Paris. According to him, this act could constitute aggravated violence against a police officer, and filming did not justify an assault. He estimated that the video, cross-referenced with the footage from the police prefecture's surveillance cameras, should allow for the identification of the person involved. He added that he would not let violence against police officers and gendarmes go unpunished. #Justice #Sécurité #Violences (translated)
