Placed in police custody in connection with the attack on Brigitte Macron’s grand-nephew and then released without legal proceedings, Jimmy and Julien ensure that one of the attackers acted in self-defense, and that Jean-Baptiste Trogneux is the first to have been beaten.
An attack that arouses emotion and indignation. On Monday evening, in Amiens, Jean-Baptiste Trogneux, grand-nephew of Brigitte Macron and by marriage of the President of the Republic, was violently attacked by a group of ten individuals in front of his chocolate factory.
“Self-defense”
Among the eight people placed in police custody after this episode, three young adult men will be judged this Wednesday in immediate appearance while a young minor woman of 16 years will be presented to the judge for children.
Four other individuals were released without prosecution. Two of them, Jimmy and Julien, aged 29 and 23, returned to the microphone of BFMTV on the chronology of events on Monday evening, and claim not to have struck the first blow.
“There is one of my comrades who put two trash cans in front of Jean Trogneux’s door. Suddenly Jean-Baptiste Trogneux came out and tackled my comrade, he did not let himself be done for self-defense”, says Jimmy . “We didn’t touch him,” he said.
In the rest of his remarks, the young man again asserts that one of the attackers acted “in self-defense.” “He defended himself because it was Jean-Baptiste Trogneux who started to tackle him to the ground,” he insists.
“I ask that Macron break”
Very quickly, the speech of the two individuals becomes political, “At one point Macron seeks war, he is for the rich but he leaves the poor aside”, launches Jimmy again, taken up by his friend, also arrested on Monday , which unfolds:
“Macron is there for the rich, we ask for things and Macron doesn’t move. So I’m asking Macron to break up, that’s all.”
Suffering according to his father from a concussion, several damaged fingers and broken ribs, Jean-Baptiste Trogneux was prescribed four days of ITT.
