“It seems that Karim Ouali was depressed and felt persecuted by his colleagues”, the source close to the investigation said. “Annoyed with his mother”, who lives in Seine-Saint-Denis, it “did not have a very stable love life”, specified this source.
The suspect, who had been assigned at his request two years ago at Basel-Mulhouse and lived in St. Louis, was "training" the time to know the airport platform, as the prosecutor.
"As he was in training, and that it was not a beginning controller, since it was out of school in 1999-2000, there could be friction," he said, when asked to possible tensions between the controllers.
