She has been banned from French territory since 2019. She was also listed in the File of Reports for the Prevention of Terrorist Radicalization (FSPRT). A source close to the case indicates that she was flagged for Islamist radicalization.
On Tuesday, a preschool outing took place under the watch of police officers. Their presence reassured parents who were hesitant to bring their children to the gates.
The already-adjudicated acts of armed violence, the territorial ban and the FSPRT listing sketch a judicial and administrative record prior to the Nice episode. The asylum obtained in Italy does not erase these measures taken in France.
On the school forecourt, the police deployment aimed to restore a climate of security after the shock. Families mention both fear and the will not to interrupt schooling.
The investigation must establish the exact sequence of the threats and the assault on the principal. No additional motive, nor any new judicial outcome, has been established beyond the already known elements.
The case concerns Clément-Roassal preschool in Nice. The principal was assaulted. Parents and staff remain shaken.
The territorial ban since 2019 means she was not supposed to be in France. The authorities have not, in the available elements, specified the circumstances of her presence in Nice nor the status of her children enrolled in school.
The profile of the mother of pupils suspected of having threatened the principal of a preschool in Nice is becoming clearer. According to information gathered from sources close to the case, this woman, who holds asylum in Italy, has already been convicted twice for acts of armed violence. “But seeing all the police officers, I told myself that we have to send him to school,” a parent said. Another mother of a pupil indicated: “For me, it makes me feel sorry for her.”.
The FSPRT lists people reported for a risk of terrorist radicalization. The flagging for Islamist radicalization, according to the source close to the case, is in addition to the convictions for armed violence.
