The scene took place last Sunday in the middle of the street, on Avenue Jean Médecin, in the city center of Nice. Very quickly, the rumor that the suspect was an S file had spread.
Last Sunday at the beginning of the afternoon, he yelled that he was “like a terrorist” and that he wanted to “kill people.” The scene took place in the middle of the street, on Avenue Jean Médecin, in the city center of Nice. Aged about 30 and from the Comoros, Anli Houmadi was immediately arrested by municipal police officers called in emergency. After 48 hours in police custody, the latter was indicted for “public justification for a terrorist act” and tried in immediate appearance Tuesday evening at the Nice Criminal Court.
A few hours after his arrest, the information that he was under an S card had spread like wildfire, fueling fantasies around his intentions and his potential dangerousness. In the end, it was nothing. “It does not appear anywhere that he was once filed with the RPF (file of wanted persons, editor’s note) for some suspicion of radicalization,” certifies his lawyer, Me Laurent Poumarede, of the Nice bar.
During the hearing, this filing was never discussed. “We are mainly dealing with a man who suffers from psychiatric problems. Two expert reports have been carried out in this direction and they point to an alteration of discernment, close to abolition, if you ask me,” continues Anli Houmadi’s adviser.
However, if the criminal record of the defendant contains no mention of it, he had already been arrested on April 11 in Nice for having shouted “Allah Akbar” and advocating the establishment of “Islamic laws.” “Certainly, but he doesn’t even know what Sharia is! Moreover, he was not even aware of the attacks of July 14, 2016, in Nice …,” further explains Me Poumarede. Regarding his career, it remains rather vague. During the hearing, the man indicated in more than approximate French that he resided in Treffiagat, in Finistère, and had family in Clermont-Ferrand. “Today he’s a homeless man who hangs out,” continues his lawyer.
In her submissions, prosecutor Sabine Marthouret mentioned a “disturbing profile,” as reported by our colleagues from Nice Matin, present at the hearing. However, the representative of the public prosecutor did not request continued detention, requesting a six-month prison sentence with suspended probation and a ban on residence in the Alpes-Maritimes for two years. This is what he was ultimately sentenced to.
