• Associations are demanding that the question of possible flaws in the security system on the evening of July 14, 2016 for access to the Promenade des Anglais also be the subject of a hearing.

  • The investigating judge has not yet pronounced any indictment in this parallel investigation which is a correctional matter.

While the trial of those accused of having helped Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel to commit the attack of July 14, 2016 in Nice continues, a second is "indispensable", plead associations.

The League of Human Rights, the Syndicate of Lawyers of France, the Collective Citizen 06 and the association All Citizens claim that the question of possible flaws in the security system that evening for access to the Promenade des Anglais , also be the subject of a hearing.

They evoke “a necessity for the families and loved ones of the victims, but […] also for all the people of Nice, and well beyond”.

They also recall that “complaints have been filed” and that “an investigation has been underway since December 2016 […] without it being known whether a second trial will take place”.
