The man who opened fire on the Strasbourg Christmas market Tuesday night (out of 11) counts 27 convictions for common law crimes committed in France, Germany and Switzerland, according to the French Attorney General Rémy Heitz. . During the attack that left two dead and several wounded, he shouted "Allahu akba" (God is great). Cherif Chekatt, 29, is on the run.
"Cherif C. was born in Strasbourg on 24 February 1989. He is well known to the police and the justice system for committing common crimes, mainly theft and violence, common crimes committed in almost all the world in France, but also in Germany and also in Switzerland, "said Heitz.
The prosecutor said that he had been arrested several times and that it was in the form of. an "S", which indicated a tendency towards radicalization. He was therefore accompanied by the French intelligence services (General Directorate of Internal Security, DGSI) [19659006] Investigators attribute this change in their behavior to a prison term at the end of 2015, which led to their inclusion in the file suspects.
"It was during these seasons spent in prison that we detected a radicalization of his religious practices, but there is nothing to indicate that he was planning an attack," said the French deputy minister of Interior, Laurent Nuñez.
According to him, the suspect allegedly shouted "Allahu akbar" (God is great) during the attack and c 39 is the discussion about him with a taxi driver who allowed Chérif to be identified by the authorities. . He was carrying a gun and a knife.
The suspect was injured during an exchange of gunfire with the police. During the raids, 350 police and gendarmes were mobilized, badisted by two helicopters and soldiers of the military counterterrorism surveillance operation.
Four "close relatives" of Cherif Chekatt were arrested overnight for interrogation in the city of eastern France. On Wednesday, the French police heard the parents of the gunman and his two brothers – it is not clear if the family was the "close" person arrested the night of the attack.
The gunman lived alone in the same neighborhood as his parents, but in a more modest building. On his estate, the police found grenades.
The French Minister of Interior ur, Christophe Castaner, announced the reinforcement of the anti-terrorist alert in the country at the level "emergency" by attack "- the highest – which implies a reinforced control at the borders, a reinforcement of the security of the markets of the Natal and an even greater mobilization of the anti-terrorist device on the whole territory.
Cherif Chekatt invaded the Christmas market of Strasbourg, the oldest in Europe, shortly before 8 pm Tuesday (11). His shot was two dead and 14 wounded. The French Attorney General said that a person was in a state of brain death (which may explain the examination of the mortality scale performed by local authorities).
The suspect exchanged fire with police before fleeing and was injured. A large security device has been put in place to secure it.
The victims are mainly men, including a Thai tourist. An Italian is also among the wounded, according to "The World". Every year, the market attracts thousands of tourists.
An investigation will have to determine how he managed to enter the Christmas market with rifles because the security feature provides for the registration of all persons entering the venue.
