In court, the man increased his provocations as if he was seeking the maximum sentence.
This December 13, 2024, two hours after midnight, the security guard at a hotel in Banyuls-sur-Mer sees a man arriving in front of him pushing a cart filled with provisions. “I just robbed a supermarket.”the individual tells him, asking him to order a taxi.
In terms of car, it is the gendarmerie who comes to convey him.
Indeed, the door of a store was kicked in and the video surveillance shows that two people entered it around 11:30 p.m. Another thief entered in turn an hour later. The loot, alcohol and food, amounts to more than a thousand euros.
The man accused delivers an absurd version: on sick leave for bipolar disorder, he went to get 1 kg of coke and 1 kg of cannabis in Spain. He would have been arrested by the mossos who allegedly confiscated the drugs, his credit card and his car. After a month spent on the street, he returned to France with migrants. They are the ones who wanted to commit the theft to feed themselves.
In court, the defendant boasts: “ I allow myself what I want, the rest I don’t care… I did the shopping for Christmas. Either way I am assured, they will pay. As for the magistrates, I will talk about it with them at Cap d’Agde in the swingers club.”
“The more he talks, the more catastrophic it iseuphemizes the prosecutor, but we’ll settle for the flight…”. He is asking for 1 year including 4 months of suspended probation.
Me Lopez will not dwell on the facts but on the personality of his client: “He is out of treatment. What he needs is not to be imprisoned but to see a psychiatrist.”. That he will see in prison where he is sent for 5 months, a sentence to which is added 5 months of suspended sentence.
