Registered on December 16, the complaint "relates to the HAC club and several people from the club and is part of open judicial information in search of the causes of death," said the magistrate.
An expert report is expected in the coming days. "It will be a question of verifying whether responsibilities may be related to the death," said Mr. Gosselin.
The club was not reachable on Monday.
