He also recommended sending a written complaint to the public prosecutor, accompanied by videos and a detailed description of the facts, including timings, actions, visible identifiers, and witnesses. He urged witnesses to also write to the prosecutor, attaching their videos, their dated and signed account, as well as a copy of their identification.
