We learned that four SNCF railway security agents were indicted for aggravated violence against the Yvelines in April. The victims were a woman, and a man aged 22 years. Sources confirmed this Friday, July 8. consistent.
The men were between 27 and 38 years old. They were charged with "aggravated violence by someone responsible for a mission of public service" for facts that date back to February last year, according to the Versailles prosecutor's office.
Me Eric Morain, their lawyer, stated that their clients "radically disagree the facts and their qualifications". He said that their judicial review had been "removed" and that his clients were "reworking". These facts date back to February 2, 2022.
The complaint by the two twentysomethings is that the young adults were aboard the RER A at the Maisons Laffite station in the west suburbs of Paris when four agents checked their tickets.
The agent would have also asked her to pay a fine in the amount of 50 euros. She accused her of having sat on the RER's seat, which she denies.
According to the complainants, this officer would have also searched her bag before asking her to take off her coat.
According to the young woman, she refused to change and was asked to leave the RER. The officer confronted him with his refusal and forced the young woman to get out of the RER.
The complainant described pain in her left wrist, twisting of her ankle, foot, and knee before being "thrown against the railing on the platform". Two days of total work interruption (ITT) was given to her. He also denied having his arm twisted. He was given ITT for 15 days.
Me Arie Alimi is the lawyer representing the complainants. He said that the violence claimed is "extremely grave" and "without justification". He said that they "question the training of railway safety officers by the SNCF, and their willingness to submit victims users".
