Prosecutor: The terrorist in Nice was preparing for a long time and had accomplices

The investigation of the terrorist attack on July 14 in Nice confirmed that Mohamed Lauage Bolel conducted a long preparation of his attack and had accomplices. This was announced by the prosecutor of Paris Francois Molens, which is referred by France Press.

Five suspects will appear before the judges to combat terrorism. Molens said that the prosecutor's office asked them to charge them in conspiracy to commit terrorism, among other crimes.

Among the suspects, the 22-year-old Frenchman of Tunisian origin, Ramza A., 37-year-old Tunisian Shukri Ts., 40-year-old Tunisian Mohamed Valid Ji., 38-year-old Albanian Artan H. and his wife of Enkelage Z., whose dual citizenship-both France and Albania.

A couple from Albania are suspected of equipping a terrorist in Nice with a weapon. Like two other Tunisians, there are no offenses in France for the Albanians.

According to the prosecutor, photographs on the mobile phone of the attacker prove that he probably nurtured his plan since 2015.

During the investigation, it turned out that one of the five suspects in custody, a Tunisian named Mohamed Valid Ji. Was removed at the crime scene the day after the massacre, when it was studied by health workers and journalists.

Only one of the suspects was previously known for the police. Ramsi A., who was born in Nice, had criminal records for robbery and crimes related to drugs. This suspect was found a Kalashnikov assault rifle and a bag of cartridges.

As previously reported, as a result of the attack on the day of the capture of the Bastille on July 14 in Nice, the attacker on the truck crushed 84 people to death on the embankment. A native of Tunisia Bukhtel was shot dead by the police at the crime scene. Many of the investigators surveyed described him as the father of three children who did not practice the Muslim religion, ate pork, drank alcohol, consumed drugs and had unbridled sexual activity.
