Benoît de Maillard

Benoît de Maillard is the president of AVANE (Aide aux Victimes des Affaires Non Élucidées), an association dedicated to assisting in the resolution of cold cases. He has recently been in the news for his efforts to reopen the investigation into the unsolved murder of a woman known as 'Nelly,' whose body was discovered in Villefranche-sur-Mer in 2008. De Maillard has expressed frustration over the lack of access to crucial information from the judicial authorities, which he believes could help identify the victim and provide closure to the case.
