Leonarda Dibrani time of the offense was 15 years old. Your family is originally from Kosovo, where her mother and her siblings were all born in Italy. Her family lived until 2008 in Fano / Italy. The children were missing in the school regularly and begging were sent. The father, Resat Dibrani was, despite efforts by the town of Fano, can not be integrated into work and was mostly behavioral reasons terminated. His extra income he earned as a scrap collector. The town of Fano planned the withdrawal of children due to the child welfare risk. To avoid the withdrawal, the family fled to France in 2008. Upon arrival, the parents burned all documents and passports and applied for asylum. The reason for the need of asylum discrimination was reported as Roma in Kosovo. As the true origins came out, the asylum applications were rejected as manifestly unfounded. Attempts asylum decisions failed to challenge legally, so finally the deportation was decided.

Since minors can not be deported without a legal guardian, the family scattered to various types of accommodation, so that a common deportation was initially impossible. Resat Dibrani was deported two weeks before the incident alone. The mother and the children were located, arrested and deported. The student was arrested during a school trip. This led to the nationwide protests.

Jean- Francois Cope, leader of the second largest party in France's UMP, subsequently announced to propose a new law on the principle of birthplace in France. Already the next day Interior Minister Manuel Valls announced, President Hollande wants to customize the right of asylum, to avoid similar cases in the future.
