Hundreds of people were arrested and hundreds of police officers were wounded.
The five police officers, all members of the elite Raid unit, were detained in Marseille for questioning in the probe over the death of Mr Mohamed Bendriss, prosecutors said.The incident took place during the night of July 1-2 during violent protests in the centre of Marseille sparked by the death of Nahel M., 17, who was shot dead by a policeman on June 27 during a traffic check.
His autopsy showed traces on his chest of what could be the impact of a shot from a blast ball – known in French as an LBD and commonly used by the country’s police.Earlier this summer, a 22-year-old man called Hedi had to have part of his skull amputated after being beaten up and fired on with an LBD on July 21 by a group of men suspected to be police officers.Three have been released under judicial supervision.
