A year after the assassination of Yvan Colonna by Franck Elong Abé, a radicalized detainee, at Arles prison (Bouches-du-Rhône), on March 2, 2021, two investigations are still underway. The first, an open judicial information for “assassination in connection with a terrorist enterprise”, was entrusted to an investigating judge of the anti -terrorist pole. Indicted, Franck Elong Abé recognized the facts, which he justified by “a blasphemy” of Yvan Colonna, who would, according to him, “spit on God”.
The second survey, still in progress, is carried out by a parliamentary commission of inquiry created on November 23, 2022 at the initiative of the Liberté, independent, overseas and territories group, of which the three Corsican nationalist deputies are part. She is responsible for assessing the conditions under which the attacker, who was the subject of a particularly reported detainee status (DPS), “was able to benefit from a classification in ordinary detention, responsible for a position of Supported auxiliary, on the one hand, and not be subject to the stages of detection of radicalization in prison, taking into account its history, on the other hand “.
But the parliamentary investigation is not intended to encroach on the judicial inquiry. The deputies will also focus on why this status of DPS was maintained for Yvan Colonna, who served a perpetuity sentence for the assassination of the prefect Erignac in 1998, which prevented his rapprochement and his transfer to a prison in Corsica .
The work of the Commission, chaired by Jean-Félix Acquaviva, deputy FEMU in Corsica de Haute-Corse, began on January 11. The hearings must be completed on April 10, and a report must be rendered before May 23. “Nearly two thirds of the planned hearings have already been carried out,” Acquaviva, who returned from Arles to the world, where he went on Monday, February 27, with other members of the commission of inquiry In order to audition prison personnel and unions of the power plant.
