” Nothing ventured, nothing gained “. The Lorient court was seized this Tuesday, April 30, 2024, by a 29-year-old man, suspected of drug trafficking. Placed under judicial supervision while awaiting his trial, the Rouennais came to request a reduction in the system in order to “be able to go on vacation to Bali” with his girlfriend. A request not really to the president’s taste: “Are you kidding? You have to be reasonable “. ” What is the problem ? The escape ? », then retorts the defendant. “We have to go back down,” the president replied simply.
Sixteen mentions in the locker
With sixteen mentions in his criminal record – including some for drug trafficking and theft – the man still tries to plead his case. “I have been under judicial supervision for 17 months. I respect all my obligations, I work as an electrician. I’m just asking for a few days to go on vacation.” Questioned about his income for his possible trip, the defendant explains that he receives between €700 and €1,000 per month. Enough to finance such an excursion? “I don’t pay rent as I stay with my boss who is also a friend. I put some money aside and my girlfriend, who lives in Belgium, can help me,” he responds straight away.
“Love is a ladder to heaven”
“I am totally opposed to this request,” immediately launches the public prosecutor. This gentleman is being prosecuted for serious offenses and he must be held accountable to the courts.” In front of the court, the defense lawyer in turn stands up. “My client has found a new partner. There were no incidents during his judicial review. He can’t even visit his friend in Belgium. Today, he is guided by something else, love. As a Hindu proverb says: “Love is a ladder to heaven”. These arguments did not hit the mark since the court rejected his request. The defendant has already planned to appeal.
