French serial killer Charles Sombraz, 78, known by the nickname “The Reptile”, who was deported by Nepalese authorities after spending almost two decades in prison there for killing two North American tourists, returned this morning in France.
Suspect of twenty murders in the 1970s in Asiathe man who inspired the Netflix series arrived at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris on a plane from Doha, Qatar, and was immediately met by police, an AFP reporter traveling with him found.
After the checks, Charles Sombraz discreetly left the airport, an airport source said, “setting up” the numerous photographers who were waiting for him.
Inside the plane with which he arrived in transit yesterday, Friday night in Doha, Sombraz assured the AFP journalist that he is “innocent” of the crimes attributed to him.
“I’m innocent of all these cases, okay? (…) Everything was built on forged documents”, he claimed in this exclusive interview with AFP. “I have a lot of things to do. I have to sue many people, including the state of Nepal.”
“The judge, without asking the slightest witness (…) and without allowing the defendant to present the slightest argument, wrote the verdict,” he added. “The courts of Nepal, (…) all the judges, were biased.”
“It took more than 19 years for him to regain his freedom and I’m happy for that and very shocked,” his French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Perre, who came to meet him at the airport, told reporters. “He was wrongfully convicted in a case fabricated with fake evidence by the Nepal Police. It’s a scandal, they’re portraying him as a serial killer, which is completely false.”
Nepal’s Supreme Court, which ordered his release on Wednesday, said Charles Sombraz needed open-heart surgery and that the decision to release him was based on a Nepalese law that allows the release of inmates who have already served three-quarters of their sentences. their punishment.
The same court ordered his deportation to France within 15 days.
Surrounded by police in bulletproof vests, Charles Sobrage, who was wearing a medical mask, made no comment to the crowd of journalists who awaited him as he left the prison.
