THE MAN WHO ATTACKED A POLICE VAN WAS REPORTED S -FORM BY THE FRENCH INTELLIGENCE The man who attacked a gendarmerie van on the Champs-Elysées was fichés S, while receiving a license to hold a weapon on account of his membership in a sports shooting club. He possessed a dozen firearms legally. The question of dysfunctions in the management of his file is raised. After a 31-year-old man attacked a gendarmerie van on the Champs-Elysées on Monday afternoon, handguns, a Kalashnikov and a gas tank were found in the charred car was burning. The police and security forces also seized an ID card that allowed the investigators to quickly get an idea of “‹“‹the assailant's profile, who died as a result of the wounds caused by his own assault. According to our information, it appears that this man was filed S since September 2015. (Source BFM TV) The assaillant was reported by the police and intelligence services according to the S-form system. (Signalled by “Fiche S“ File “S“). In France, a S File, is a fact sheet of the file of persons sought. The letter S is the abbreviation of "State Security". The S cards are mainly issued by the Directorate General of Homeland Security (DGSI). The S-form is subdivided into various levels represented by numbers, which range from "S1" to "S16". This level of figures does not correspond to the "dangerousness" of a person but rather to the actions to be taken for the member of the security forces who controls that person.
