A French police officer will face a murder trial next year over the 2023 killing of teenager Nahel Merzouk, authorities said on Tuesday.
The trial of the 38-year-old officer — a decision reached at the end of a two-year investigation — could take place in the second or third quarter of 2026, the court and prosecutor in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, where the killing at point-blank range took place, said in a joint statement.
