The man questioned since Wednesday morning in the investigation into the quadruple murder of 2012 in Chevaline, Haute-Savoie, is a witness exonerated in 2015 whose custody is "not justified", denounced his attorney.
"He has the feeling, perhaps wrongly (...) but it is a feeling that I share, to be in police custody for free", denounced in front of journalists Jean-Christophe Basson-Larbi in front of the gendarmerie of Chambéry this Wednesday evening.
For the lawyer, police custody "weighs on the head of this man the weight of life imprisonment even though it is to check a schedule".
"He did not cross paths with this poor family"
On Wednesday morning, the Annecy Line Bonnet prosecutor had indicated that this police custody in the so-called "Chevaline killing" case aimed "to carry out timetable checks" and "searches" at this home. man. Me Basson-Larbi specified that his client, "who has always been keen to participate in the manifestation of the truth", had "already been aware of this affair" in the past but that he had been put "out of the question. in 2015 ". However, the lawyer did not wish to reveal the identity of his client.
"Today, the position of this gentleman is still the same: I was walking (…) He crossed paths with motorists perhaps but he did not cross paths with this poor family," he said. -he adds.
"My intimate conviction this evening, in what he gave me to see, what I saw of him, what I perceived of him, is that this man has, at no time , the profile of a person who could have committed cold-bloodedly, with premeditation, such an assassination ”, assured Me Basson-Larbi.
A judicial enigma
On September 5, 2012, a 50-year-old Briton of Iraqi origin, Saad al-Hilli, his 47-year-old wife and 74-year-old mother-in-law were found dead, with several bullets to the head, in their car on a country road near Chevaline, not far from Lake Annecy.
One of the daughters of the al-Hilli couple was seriously injured while the second, curled up under her mother's legs, miraculously escaped unharmed.
A cyclist from the region, Sylvain Mollier, 45, a probable collateral victim, was also shot dead.
This case is one of the great legal enigmas that have held France in suspense for the past fifty years.
It has already given rise to thousands of hours of investigation and hearings, tons of documents peeled and four arrests, without having been elucidated to date.
