The circumstances surrounding his death are just unbearable.

Friday october 8th 20:00

Adlen called his wife Kheira and informed her that he will be coming home late, as his boss had asked him to collect a delivery van from a colleague and that afterwards he would be spending some time with some of his mates. This group of friends indeed confirmed that Adlen spent some time with them that evening and left at around 23:30, they state that he was somewhat tired and the evening had to be brought to an end for him, since he had to work the following day at 05:00. (It should be noted that up and until that day, Adlen has never missed a single delivery and was constantly praised by his boss for his perfect time keeping).
 

Saturday october 9th 04:00

According to an initial verbal statement made by the police to Kheira (later denied by a contradictive statement), a police patrol found Adlen asleep in his temperature controlled delivery van. The van was indeed parked at 119 Avenue de Wagram, on a non parking zone. "We knocked at the driver's window to wake him up and instructed him to move his vehicle" they explained (they?) later on to Kheira. From this moment on, we get lost in the events. We don't understand anymore. Policemen (names!) have confirmed to Kheira that they have breathalysed Adlen ( at 4 am ) which showed positive. What is unquestionable here, is that Adlen was taken to the Rue Truffaut police station (but at what time?). An official statement, released later on to that effect by the police (at 9:30, the copy that we know of has not been signed by Adlen) indicates that the reduced level of (0,4mg/l) of alcohol was found in Adlen's breath allowing for a calculated estimation of alcohol blood level of 0,77g/1 (These calculations are apparently derived from, and based on a chart that works out these scientific assumptions very accurately). The result, being below the 0,8g/l threshold, therefore we refer to this unique law item -> see
 

Saturday, October 9th 09:00   

Unable to contact him on his mobile, and surprised at him not turning up for work, Adlen's boss calls Kheira. With increasing  despair, and very worried, having not heard from her husband, she perseveres and dials Adlen's mobile repeatedly all day long unsuccessfully.
 

Saturday, October 9th 22:02   

Having made several attempts to ascertain her husband's exact whereabouts, Kheira calls a number of police stations and hospitals throughout the city of Paris but to no avail. As a last ditch attempt, she calls the Bichat Hospital (Hôpital Bichat, Paris 18th ), and she is casually told that indeed their records indicate that a certain Abdelhafid Rouag was recorded as being an outpatient between the hour of 10:30 and 11:00 without any additional comments. The person on the other line then hangs up the phone.
 

Saturday, October 9th 22:25   

Unhappy with the hospital's response, Kheira calls the hospital one more time, but nobody would volunteer any additional information, but this time she is advised to get in touch with the police station based at 19/21 Rue Truffaut of the Seventeenth district of Paris.

Kheira, straight away calls the said police station and the fact that Adlen has indeed been arrested by a police patrol was confirmed to her. Furthermore, she was told by the same police officer that he is being processed and is on his way to the "Depot" for immediate appearance in front of a judge. (This statement later on turned up to be totally false).

Remark: Adlen was supposed to have been freed at 18:10... but nobody informs Kheira of that when she calls the police station!

Sunday, October 10th 16:26   

Kheira calls again the police station to have address details of "the Depot", the policeman on duty gives this location (6 Quai de l’Horloge). It is already late, she can't leave her three children all by themselves. Far from being happy by this revelation, she is relieved, she has at least managed to establish the whereabouts of her husband.

Remark: This false statement was made (deliberately ?) to Kheira and while she was made to believe that at that time Adlen was in the Depot, later on we learnt that Adlen was taken to the Bichat hospital more than 9 hours ago, following a phone call made by that very police station to the fire department. (The fire Department also operates an ambulance service in France).

Sunday, October 10th 16:31  

Kheira gets in touch with the Depot, but she is told no information can be given to her over the phone. She'll have to be there in person.

Sunday, October 10th 17:00

At the Depot, the clerk verifies carefully the register, but there is no entry for Adlen. He has never been taken there. If he had, the register would have shown the date and time he was brought in and equally the date and time he was released.

Remark: A police officer on duty at the depot, touched by Kheira's emotions and despair suggests that she should wait until the end of the shift in order to check the register himself for a second time, which he did, but there was no mentions of Adlen.
 

Sunday, October 10th 18:00

Kheira calls the Police Station one more time from the Depot, stressing the fact that she is in the Depot and there is no mention of her husband having been there at anytime. Response "I am not Mrs Soleil (a well known French lady & fortune teller). If he isn't at the depot he must be in prison" he concluded.

The civil servants at the Depot advises Kheira to get in touch with the Greffe du TGI (the Office of the Clerk of the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris) first thing tomorrow morning. Extremely worried after all this, Kheira, spends the evening contacting all the prisons within the vicinity of Paris. La Santé (the name of a prison) checks: Not with us. Fleury-Mérogis, Fresnes... (names of two other prisons), same response cross the board: nothing here. "Try again tomorrow".
 

Monday, October 11th 09:00    Kheira calls the Greffe du TGI (the Office of the Clerk of the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris), they confirm the following: "Your husband is summoned to the tribunal for November 4th 2005 (2005!) at 9:11 at the TGI of Paris, Room 28". But still no news about Adlen.

Monday, October 11th at about 11:00  

Kheira receives a phone call at about 11:00 from the Recovery Department of Bichat hospital: Adlen is in a "dramatic state, he is in a deep coma". He was brought to the emergency services by the fire brigade at about 7:02 the day before.

 

Monday, October 11th at 13:00

Kheira arrives at the hospital with her family, the hospital makes them wait for ONE hour before a demeaning intern agrees to meet them... to confirm the serious state of Adlen: (Two cerebral haematomata under-duraux).

 

Monday, October 11th at 15:00

Kheira, along with Adlen's sister visit the police station located at 19/21 Rue Truffaut of the seventeenth district of Paris. Without a hint of sympathy towards her state of mind, she is seen in appalling and shameful conditions, it (?) is explained to her in the presence of a herd of police officers (the spirit of solidarity) that Adlen was found during the early hours  of the morning (4am?) by a police officer who's just started his shift and that he was released from this police station the evening before "sober and in good health", Saturday at 18:10.

With arrogance, other policemen add: "Whichever way you want to look at it, your husband is a man who appeared not to care about anything or anybody and couldn't careless about life". They also confirmed to her that he was never sent to the depot, whereas, these very police officers from this very police station passed on to Kheira this information about the depot and even its address.
 

Friday, October 15th, 18:45    

Mr Abdelhafid Rouag was declared dead.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

These unwinding facts lead us to ask the following questions:

1. Why is the statement released by the police indicates 9:30 whereas the police patrol said to Kheira that they submitted  him to a breathalysing test at 4:00.?

2. Why would the police remand Adlen in custody for 0,7 mg/1?    (the law)

3. Why did the police lie (deliberately ?) to Kheira when they told her he was taken to the depot

4. Why didn't Adlen call his wife, a friend, his boss after he was "freed" (18:10) ? Was he able to do so?

5. Where is his mobile phone?

6. Why were his shoe laces not on his shoes when he was "freed"?

7. Why didn't he try to contact one of his colleagues to recover his delivery van?

8. Why did the police not inform Kheira that Adlen was freed when she called them at 22:35

9. Why did it take Adlen 8 hours to cover a distance of 100 meters (approx 100 yards)? (between the time he was made "free" (18:10) and the time he was found unconscious (4:00) ).

10. Why did it take the fire brigade 2h48 (06:48) to react after the time he was found? (04:00)

11. Why were Adlen's clothing soaked in urine?

12. Why is the hospital refusing to return the keys to his delivery van?

13. Why is Adlen summon to appear in court deferred until November 2005?

14. Why does the Bichat Hospital wait 28 hours (Till Monday 11:00) before alerting the family? (Adlen was in the hospital Sunday at 7:02 !).

15. How come nobody else has noticed or seen Adlen before that early bird civil servant (on such a busy street)? (Refer to testimonies)

16. With what miracle, was the van able to stay parked for a whole six days in a non-parking zone at Avenue de Wagram,  without a single ticket being issued and stuck on the windscreen? (orders?)
