The Strépy driver, Paolo F., remains in preventive detention

The driver, who therefore remains in preventive detention for a month, had returned with his car to the carnival procession in the early morning, killing six people and injuring around thirty others. The file, which was to be examined on April 22 by the Council Chamber, had been postponed for a week at the request of the defense represented by Mr. Frank Discepoli. The latter had not requested the release of his client during the first hearing on March 25. Paolo F.’s preventive detention had thus been extended for a period of one month.

Paolo F. is being prosecuted for manslaughter and involuntary bodily harm resulting in death in the context of a road accident.
