Judges in France have ordered eleven suspects to stand trial regarding the 2023 killing of 16-year-old Thomas Perotto in the village of Crépol. The judicial decision includes a racist aggravation, citing hostility toward the ‘white race and the French nation.’

The fatal incident occurred following a violent altercation between locals and individuals from the nearby Romans-sur-Isère area. While the specific individual responsible for the fatal blow remains unidentified, the court has decided to try the eleven suspects as a group. A twelfth individual, a minor at the time, will face a separate juvenile court for voluntary violence and weapons possession.
