How can an arrest lead to the death of Cedric Chouviat? The driver, a 42-year-old man, suffered a heart attack during a fierce police check, during which he was knocked to the ground with his helmet on his head, on January 3, near the Eiffel Tower.
The three policemen who physically led them to their arrest were charged on July 7 and 8. They are placed under judicial supervision with a ban on contact with all or part of the crew. The fourth member of the crew, who was filming the scene, was placed on assisted witness status last Friday.

Two articles, Mediapart and Release, which will be published on Tuesday, return to the circumstances of Cedric Chouviat’s death in the light of new documents from the proceedings launched into the circumstances of the deliveryman’s death. According to these two investigations, this driver was held on the ground for 1 minute and 30 seconds, while he showed respiratory distress. But according to Release and Mediapart, a police officer from the Anti-Crime Squad (BAC), also published a false arrest report to erase any responsibility of the police officers for the death of Cedric Chouviat.
breathing difficulties
witnesses present at the scene at the time of Cedric Chouviat’s arrest, and heard by the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN), contradict the version defended by the police. In the first free audition, dated the day of the facts, Michael P., a police officer with 33 years of service, who passed the audit today, explained that he had achieved “keeping his head [, without pressure on the neck]”, positioning himself behind Cedric Chouviat, with one hand facing the deliveryman, Release says, adding that according to this policeman, it is the driver who is allegedly to blame for the crash.
But several witnesses to the scene interviewed by the IGPN claim otherwise, the release said. Like Haly D., who explains that the police “held his hand around his neck and pulled him to the ground.” Or William B., who says he was “knocked to the ground from behind or from the side,” describes daily life. Currently, Cedric Chouviat is on the ground that it is part of the respiratory distress.

The General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) carried out a “synthesis” of the investigation at the end of February, which is based, among other things, on the video recorded by Cédric Chouviat. According to the synthesis carried out by the IGPN, Cedric Chouviat “fell” to the ground after his arrest and immediately announced that he would not resist: “I will stop.. I will stop. Take off your helmet… I’m suffocating!.. .I’m suffocating.. ( …) I’m suffocating, I’m suffocating!.. I’m suffocating! Cedric Chouviat was transported in critical condition to the hospital and died on January 5.

The IGPN also believes that the presentation of the facts of the arrest by the BAC police officer who arrived at the scene after the arrest by radio link was wrong. “The intervention report, incorrect as to the technical skill involved, was taken from the command room,” explained the IGPN, according to the statement.

According to Arié Alimi, one of the lawyers of the Chouviat family, “the Cédric Chouviat file is an archetypal record of police violence, disguised as organized violence, conflicts of multiple interests, responsibilities, hierarchical and individual, the problems of interrogation techniques and training, and the complete absence of consideration of the issue by the government .” According to this lawyer, “the judicial institution is taking measures in all these problems and is conducting a survey model. The IGPN, under the supervision of the investigating judge, is working correctly”.
