Brexit: Mandatory passport entry into force for Europeans coming to the UK

The identity card will no longer be usable from Friday to return to the United Kingdom, which now requires European or Swiss citizens to present a passport, one of the latest consequences of Brexit.

After thirty-five years on the run, the serial killer "the Hail" found dead

It was one of the oldest "cold cases" that slept in the drawers of the "crim": the man who was found dead in Grau-du-Roi (Gard) is indeed the "Hailstone", a serial killer and rapist wanted since the 1980s, said the Paris prosecutor's office on Thursday evening. For thirty-five years, investigators had been on the trail of this man with a hail face suspected of "five crimes committed between 1986 and 1994", according to the same source. A judicial investigation concerning him had been opened for "rape of minors of 15 years, murders, attempted intentional homicide, theft with a weapon, uses of false quality and kidnapping and kidnapping of a minor of 15 years", detailed in a statement the prosecutor of the Republic of Paris, Laure Beccuau. He is suspected of having killed and raped little Cécile, 11, found dead in the basement of his building in the nineteenth arrondissement of Paris in May 1986, and of having strangled a couple in the Marais district in 1987.

Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced Thursday to one year in prison for the illegal financing of his lost 2012 presidential campaign in the Bygmalion case, a decision in his eyes "unfair" that he will appeal. On his Twitter account, the former head of state judged that the law "was once again flouted" by this decision, considering that he had already been sanctioned in this case by the Constitutional Council, which had rejected his campaign accounts in 2013 and had condemned him to reimburse the expenses exceeded Yardures to the legal ceiling.
