Since the attack by Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a virulent controversy opposed the City of Nice, run by Republicans (main party of the right), and the government socialist on the security device deployed that night.
According to Libération, which is based on “a police source who saw the images of video surveillance (…), one police vehicle, of municipal officials, was in the middle of the road, on the sea side “at the point where the street became pedestrian. No member of the national police was present then, added Libération, which quotes a witness . “They had been relieved to 20:30 for their municipal colleagues. There was therefore no car of the national police to close the road, “the paper said.

Two of the detainees are francotunecinos, Ramzy A. (21 years old) and Mohamed G. Oualid (40); two other Albanians, Artan H. (38) and Ankeneja Z. (42) and another Tunisian, Choukri C. (37). None of the five was signed by the intelligence services, said the prosecutor.
“Research has confirmed not only the premeditated nature (the attack), but had also (Bouhlel) benefited supports and accomplices in the preparation and commission of the criminal act, “he said.
in this regard, he cited different photos were found in the cell of Bouhlel, which looked among other things, the crowd gathered on the promenade des Anglais to watch the fireworks on July 14 last year. One of his alleged accomplices, Mohamed G. Oualid, who was exchanged to 1278 calls during the last year, appears in two photos in the cab of the truck with which he perpetrated the massacre in the previous days. The latter sent a message in January 2015, shortly after the attack on the magazine Charlie Hebdo, in which he said: “I am not Charlie and I am happy, have sent the soldiers of Allah to finish the job “.
on April 4 another alleged accomplice, Choukri C., advised him in a message on Facebook: ” Load the truck, put into 2.0000 tons of iron (. . ..) cuts the brakes, my friend, and I look “
