New bodycam footage has emerged documenting the moments before and after the police intervention involving Fakir, in circumstances still under investigation by the prosecutor's office.

The videos, recently released, show Fakir on the street in a state of evident agitation and confusion before the arrival of law enforcement. He is seen punching a car and having a verbal altercation with a local resident. The footage continues by documenting the entire police intervention.

According to one of the outlets, the video also shows Fakir biting an officer during the intervention. The defense of the police officers stated that there was no excessive use of force, claiming that the officers' actions were proportionate to the circumstances.

The prosecutor's office is examining the video material to reconstruct the dynamics of the intervention. On the other side, Fakir's family members have expressed highly critical views of the police conduct: his wife stated that the man was executed without reason, while his aunt called the episode a crime against humanity. These statements represent the family's perspective and do not correspond to judicial findings.

The case is currently under investigation and developments are expected in the coming weeks.
