Philippe Zevenne, lawyer for the family of Domenico D’atria, shot down on his quad, was present on the set of It’s Not Everyday Sunday. Facing him, Thierry Belin, secretary general of the national union of police and security personnel (SNPS). Our journalists ask them what exactly happened on August 18 in Oupeye.
The death of Domenico D’atria, 30, is currently under investigation. He, according to the thesis of the police officers involved and several witnesses, refused to comply during a police check. He allegedly ran into an officer, causing him to pass under the vehicle, which would have prompted his colleague to open fire. This version leaves the family perplexed. Asked regarding the possibility that it is a “police blunder“, the family lawyer is content to say that he “don’t know“. Before adding, “I think that’s the case for everyone“, leaving doubt on the version of the police, which is confirmed by the first findings of the investigation.
He affirms that “other elements will necessarily be added to the file“, he evokes witnesses who “would like to be heard“. Without getting too wet, the lawyer who refuses to say more regarding what these people have to say, says all the same: “It cannot be considered that what is advanced as a cause of justification is necessarily the truth.“. Before throwing: “I hope that the instruction will go all the way, that if we have to do reconstructions to check if it is correct that a policeman went under a quad and finds himself in a standing position 5 seconds later, if it is believable, if possible.“
A questioning of the police version? It is not so according to Thierry Belin, secretary of the SNPS, a simple “smoke screen“. While the latter describes Domenico D’atria as “repeat offender“, the family lawyer claims that “the portrait that was drawn of him was not accurate“.
On the question of police blunders, Thierry Belin says he does not want to do “a survey next to the survey“. When our journalists ask if the police officers, young, might have lacked experience, he answers once once more that “the investigation will determine it“, even if, “the elements suggest it“.
The investigation is still in progress. Testimonies must be collected and the result of the autopsy and the toxicological analyzes of Domenico and the two police officers are also awaited.
