“The investigations were able to confirm that it was indeed an account belonging to the author of the facts”, declared Jean-François Ricard during a press conference at the Paris court.

Abdoullakh A., “born on March 12, 2002 in Moscow, Russia” and who had refugee status, was shot dead by police as he “ran in their direction, firing five times with a handgun.” explained the prosecutor.
