Six years after the attack in Nice on July 14, in which 86 people were killed and hundreds injured, the trial began in Paris on September 5. As BFMTV reported on Friday October 28, an incident during the hearing the day before outraged the victims’ families and the joint plaintiffs. Indeed, laughter could be heard from the hall reserved for the terrorist’s family. “It is an insult, it is unbearable,” complained Alain Dariste, joint plaintiff and co-chair of the victims’ association Promenade des Anges.
There was much laughter on this day marked by a statement from the cousin of the Islamist terrorist on the witness stand. Alain Dariste regretted that some relatives of the assassin Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel had made statements that were ” beside the point “. “They didn’t answer, they were doubtful, they didn’t know anything,” the association president said. The laughter was the straw that broke the camel’s back. After this “unacceptable” behaviour, which left the joint plaintiffs “stunned”, they demanded that penalties be set. “It shocked us all, it hurt us all,” concluded Alain Dariste.
