Gilles G. is a former officer of the BAC (Brigade Anti-Criminalité) in Paris. He is currently on trial in the Yvelines court of assizes for the death of Olivio Gomes, which occurred in Poissy in October 2020. The trial has garnered significant attention due to the circumstances surrounding Gomes' death, which involved Gilles G. shooting the motorist. During the trial, Gilles G. conceded that some of his shots were illegitimate. Prosecutors have requested a ten-year prison sentence and a permanent ban from practicing his profession. Fellow officers, Laurent M. and Harry S., who were present during the incident, testified in his defense, attributing Gomes' death to his own actions while driving. The case highlights issues of police conduct and the use of force, making it a matter of public interest and scrutiny.
