Michel Zecler’s lawyer ‘astonished’ at release of two officers under supervision, one month after Paris beating caught on camera
French investigating judges have ordered the release under judicial supervision of two policemen detained last month in connection with the beating of black music producer Michel Zecler, a judicial source said.
Both officers will be barred from having any contact with Zecler or anyone else connected with the case. They will also be banned from carrying firearms and all police work and will have to stay clear of the 17th Paris arrondissement where the assault, caught on video, occurred (on 21 November), the source said.
