Justice has delivered its verdict in the case of supporters who had filed a complaint for “sexual assault” after the pat-downs carried out at the Océane stadium this season. “The investigation was closed and I signed a decision to dismiss the case,” Bruno Dieudonné, the Le Havre prosecutor, told us. This decision was notified to the complainants. » Seven Lens supporters received a letter telling them that criminal proceedings would not be initiated.
Fourteen supporters have filed complaints since August
According to our information, fourteen supporters had filed complaints since August: twelve from Lens, after the meeting on October 20, one from Brest, after the one from August 20, and one from Lille, after the one from October 1. “These other complaints never arrived,” assures Bruno Dieudonné. But even if there were others, they would not a priori change anything in the decision taken, the investigations not making it possible to establish an intentional element characterizing the sexual assault. » The plaintiffs can challenge this decision.
