The alleged perpetrator does not admit the facts. He indicates that the scooter had been lent to him so that he could go and fill up with gas and that he was unaware of the contents of the storage under the saddle. He also explains that he did not see the policeman hit. “He is referred this Sunday, August 21 to the prosecution for a judgment by the juvenile court at the beginning of October. As the minor is under the age of 16, pre-trial detention is not possible and the prosecution requires his placement in a closed educational center“, specifies the public prosecutor of Grenoble.
