Grenoble: two further suspects investigated over fatal Mistral shooting
An already imprisoned man allegedly recruited gunmen from his cell, while a woman is suspected of providing logistical help. They were placed under formal investigation on 22 October, AFP reported on 29 October.
Two further suspects have been placed under formal investigation over the 26 May shooting in Grenoble’s Mistral district. According to a police source quoted by AFP, an already imprisoned man allegedly recruited the gunmen from his cell on instructions from two criminals who had taken refuge in Morocco. A woman allegedly helped with logistics. She was placed under judicial supervision, while the man was remanded in custody in this case. Le Dauphiné Libéré confirms those measures.
The attack occurred outside the local football club’s premises, near a drug-selling location. Four people were shot by occupants of a four-wheel-drive vehicle. A 33-year-old man died after being hit twice in the back; three others were injured.
Days after the shooting, the alleged driver and two minors were arrested, placed under formal investigation and remanded in custody. According to AFP’s police source, the driver admitted involvement but said she had acted under threat. One minor denied the allegations; the other remained silent.
