The facts go back more than three years.

The gendarmerie on Tuesday launched an appeal for witnesses in France and abroad to find the driver of a two-wheeler as part of the investigation into the attempted assassination of a magistrate at her home in Versailles. .

The victim, one of the presidents of the Yvelines Assize Court, was targeted in the head on the morning of June 17, 2019.

"Two individuals, traveling on a motorcycle, access the home of the magistrate who is the victim of a gunshot," recalls in a press release the research section (SR) of the Versailles gendarmerie, in charge of the investigations.

Seriously injured, she had been hospitalized for three days and operated on, suffering from several facial fractures.
