English

In the wake of historians and activists, the courts began to play a role in the revival: on the occasion of the 1997 trial of Maurice Papon, who faced charges relating to his role in the Vichy government, the magistrates paid special attention to the events of 17 October 1961. Confronted by Jean-Luc Einaudi, the former Paris police chief finally admitted that there were "15 or 20 deaths" in the course of that "unfortunate evening," but claimed that these were due to a settling of scores between Algerians.

Na historici en activisten die de herinnering levend wilden houden, kwam ook justitie in beeld: tijdens het proces in Bordeaux in 1997 van Maurice Papon, de voormalig leider onder het Vichy-regime, stonden de rechters lang stil bij 17 oktober 1961.Geconfronteerd met Jean-Luc Einaudi gaf de vroegere politieprefect uiteindelijk toe dat er "15 of 20 doden” zijn gevallen tijdens deze "beklagenswaardige avond”, maar dat hij die toeschreef aan afrekeningen tussen Algerijnen onderling.
