He warns straight away, he won't explain, angry “at waiting on [sa] chair since 1:30 p.m. like a puppet.” “The court is not at your disposal,” replied the president. It is 3:30 p.m. when the 24-year-old defendant, detained for the aggravated rape and assault of two sixty-year-olds in Guingamp in June 2022, is preparing to be judged for four acts of repeat theft, this Tuesday, November 19, 2024. He is accused of having stolen cartons of cigarettes from two businesses in Pordic and Binic-Étables-sur-Mer, as well as a scooter and a motorcycle. in Plourhan, in March 2022.
Twelve convictions
It was thanks to the surveillance cameras of the tobacco shops where Briochin operated that the gendarmerie was able to confuse him for the aggravated rape and assault for which the Côtes-d'Armor departmental criminal court convicted him, in February 2024 , to eight years of imprisonment. “How is your detention going?” », asks the judge. “Judge me, I will not answer your questions,” repeats the defendant, whose record already includes twelve convictions. “What’s going on, it’s not okay, did you sleep badly?” », asks the magistrate.
In the two Costa Rican tobacco shops, the defendant pretended to want to buy the cartons of cigarettes, inserted his bank card and removed it before payment was made, then fled with his loot. He thus stole three cartridges for a loss of around €300. Concerning the motorcycles, it was he who gave information on their location to an accomplice who would have carried out the theft. He then used the two stolen devices.
Comb confusion
The Saint-Brieuc criminal court found him guilty of the four offenses and sentenced him to ten months in prison, as requested by the public prosecutor. But, as the man had been convicted in July 2024 for acts of the same nature and committed during the same period, the court ordered the sentences to be combined. This means that these ten new months in prison will not be added to the ten already handed down in July. And will therefore not postpone the date of his release from prison, scheduled for 2032.
