An unnecessary risk too since the motorcycle was identified and its owner was not wanted, said the court. The vehicle of the third police officer, positioned at an angle on the right lane at the exit of the Bailli tunnel, in order to block the path of the driver of the motorcycle, constituted an unpredictable obstacle… And fatal for Ouassim and Sabrina.
The three inspectors were respectively sentenced to 5, 8 and 10 months in prison with half of the sentence suspended.
Samira Benallal, Sabrina’s aunt, was very moved when reading the judgment: “We are relieved because justice has triumphed, even if we are a little disappointed by the sentences handed down“The lawyer for Sabrina’s family, Me Loïca Lambert, almost didn’t believe it anymore.”In a global context of impunity during police violence, we were in total doubt regarding the follow-up to this case. We are satisfied because this judgment reminds us that rules exist to govern police action and that in this case, they were not respected.“.
The 3 police officers were not present. Their lawyers, who were calling for acquittal, declined to comment.
