According to the prosecutor, the seventy-year-old wounded in Nice during the demonstration of "yellow vests" on Saturday was "not affected by the police", but fell after having "been pushed".
The septuagenarian wounded in Nice during a demonstration of "yellow vests" Saturday was "not intentionally touched", and had "no contact with a security guard" but fell after being "pushed", declared Monday the public prosecutor of Nice.
Genevieve Legay "was pushed, the fall occurred when the police intervened for a dispersal action," said Jean-Michel Prêtre during a press conference, stating that the septuagenarian "presented a plague to the back of the skull ". But "it's hard to know who exactly was behind her," he added.
"We do not see who pushes her" "
According to the prosecutor who "excludes that she was running" and fell alone, there were three people behind her, "a journalist filming, another demonstrator and another person in the brown cap". "We do not see who pushes her," but "she was not touched by the security forces," he said.
Complaints about the police and the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes were filed Monday by the family of the victim, a 73-year-old anti-globalization activist, who violently fell during a police charge while demonstrating in a prohibited perimeter. Interviewed by the investigators, the septuagenarian made sure to ignore that the demonstration was prohibited in the square.
