The 61-year-old nationalist activist was very seriously injured on March 2 by a radicalized fellow prisoner, Franck Elong Abé, a 36-year-old Cameroonian presented as a “jihadist”, who attacked him in the prison gym. . Yvan Colonna had been the victim of “strangulation with his bare hands and then suffocation” with a plastic bag, said Tarascon prosecutor Laurent Gumbau.

According to several sources, the aggressor of Yvan Colonna justified his act by the fact that the Corsican militant would have blasphemed and “spoke badly of the Prophet”. A version, however, deemed “not very credible” by the director of the central house of Arles, Marc Ollier, who estimated, during a hearing before the law commission of the National Assembly, that the murderer “wanted to pay himself something ‘one known’.

Anger motivated in particular by the length of the attack on Yvan Colonna, almost eight minutes, under the gaze of a surveillance camera, without any supervisor intervening.

The director of the central house of Arles and the director of the penitentiary administration Laurent Ridel assured during their hearing at the National Assembly that a single agent could “not see” the 49 cameras of the wing concerned ” .
