Family of Victim Threatened Following Dijon Prison Escape, Police Protection Pending

On November 27, two inmates escaped from Dijon prison by cutting through cell bars and climbing razor wire. While one was quickly recaptured, 19-year-old Yannick T., held for attempted murder in a narcotics-related dispute, remains on the run. The victim of Yannick T.'s attempted murder and his family are now fearing for their safety, as the escape raises concerns of possible retaliation. The family has experienced trauma and vulnerability, especially after their home had previously been set on fire—a link to the inmate though unconfirmed by authorities. Despite their urgent requests for police protection, no protective measures have been granted so far, amplifying fears amidst ongoing uncertainty. The family expressed they are worried Yannick T. might "come to finish the job," underscoring the seriousness of the threat they face. Authorities continue the manhunt for Yannick T., while the family remains anxious about their security situation given the unresolved protection status.
