The TV and radio host and his family had been kidnapped. They talked about their post-traumatic syndrome. The perpetrators were heavily condemned… before fighting in the box.
“They stole my life as a dad because when you raise a child, you are there from a very young age to tell him that we are there to help him and defend him.” This Wednesday, before the 7th criminal chamber of the Versailles court (Yvelines), the TV and radio host, Bruno Guillon and his wife, Marion, spoke at length about the trauma linked to home-jacking of which they were victims on the night of September 26 to 27 at their home in Tessancourt-sur-Aubette in Yvelines.
That night, four individuals broke into their home around 3:30 a.m. and kidnapped the family. The criminals fled with their loot: watches, jewelry and luxury bags. Damage estimated at 103,000 euros.

The thieves managed to break into the home by breaking the window of a guest bedroom on the ground floor before bursting into the couple’s bedroom. Their 14-year-old son was also present at the home.
A son to whom Bruno Guillon often referred during the trial, according to Le Parisien. “He found himself with a dad who was naked, sitting on the edge of the bed, with his hands tied behind his back, begging the attackers not to harm his mother or him.”
-The trial this Wednesday concerned five men involved in this violent burglary. Sentences of three to twelve years’ imprisonment were handed down this Wednesday evening. Specializing in VIP burglaries, Kamel Z, considered the real mastermind, was the most heavily sanctioned. The judges went further than the public prosecutor who had requested ten years.
A trial which ended with a fight between defendants in the box…
“Doomed to be unhappy for the rest of our lives”
Before that, in front of defendants without compassion, Bruno Guillon had let his anger explode. “You broke up a family and a couple. We are doomed to be unhappy for the rest of our lives.”
And the host also mentions that he will have to, “for the rest of my days, justify myself when I act as a clown behind a microphone and say that it’s my job, while at the same time dealing with comments from people who say that it must not have affected me that much because look, he’s laughing about it, it’s not going away, it’s never going to go away.”
