Two males have been indicted and positioned in pre-trial detention, the Lyon prosecutor’s workplace introduced on Friday March 6, as a part of the investigation into the dying of far-right activist Quentin Deranque. On February 12, the 23-year-old younger man was violently crushed throughout a conflict between ultra-right and ultra-left activists, on the sidelines of a convention by “rebellious” MEP Rima Hassan, at Sciences Po Lyon.

Aged 22 and 26, they have been arrested Wednesday morning within the Lyon area and in Aube, two weeks after a primary wave of arrests. “We now think we have all those who directly participated in the attacks on Quentin Deranque”then specified a police supply to Agence France-Presse.

The two males, arrested following letters rogatory from the three investigating judges liable for a judicial investigation opened for “murder, participation in a criminal association and aggravated violence”, have been positioned in pre-trial detention, following the requisitions of the prosecution.

On February 17 and 18, eleven individuals have been arrested in a number of departments, seven of whom have been suspected of getting participated within the violence in opposition to Quentin Deranque. Six males have been indicted for “intentional homicide”, and one for “complicity”. All seven of them are at the moment in pre-trial detention.

According to a supply near the matter, these younger individuals, aged 20 to 26, are recognized to be both “member”both “close” of the anti-fascist Young Guard, an ultra-left motion based in 2018 in Lyon by LFI deputy Raphaël Arnault and dissolved in June. Two have been collaborators of the parliamentarian within the National Assembly.

Quentin Deranque, a younger identification activist, developed within the galaxy of ultra-right teams in Lyon. On the day of his dying, he got here to supply safety for activists from the Némésis identification collective, who had come to protest in opposition to the presence of MP Rima Hassan. Suffering from critical head trauma following the blows he suffered, he died in hospital two days later.
