The facts date back seven months. On January 12, Le Parisien revealed that Olivier Ménard had been the victim of an assault two days earlier in the entrance hall of his building located in Issy-les-Moulineaux, in the Hauts-de-Seine department. Totally incapacitated for work (ITT), he had been replaced for a few days by his colleague Giovanni Castaldi on the evening shift.

Following the assault and the intervention of the police services, the journalist had filed a complaint for homicide, thus giving the starting signal for an investigation conducted by the Issy-les-Moulineaux police station. The latter had given an initial testimony in the columns of L'Équipein these words: “My attacker wanted to kill me. &At one point, he passed a little behind me and wanted to do guillotines, break my cervical vertebrae. There, the fact of doing sport every day helped me a lot. I managed to control his strength, to counter him”.
