The denials of the defendant, tried for aggravated thefts Tuesday in Montbéliard, make the victim jump. On May 17, this resident of Pays-de-Clerval tried to prevent the offense. He saw two men collecting metals from a private warehouse, he blocked the road with his truck, behaving, the president of the court Aymeric Gelix reassures him, “as a good citizen”. The perpetrators forced his way and hit his vehicle. “He was the driver […] It would be better if he recognized it,” reacted the poor motorist, looking at Johnny Deme.

“I put myself away”
In the box, the 35-year-old suspect appears harmless, like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a car. Round face, blond hair, blue eyes, he disputes his involvement as having taken over dam needles (aluminum beams) on June 26 to the detriment of EDF at Fournet-Blancheroche. The thirty-year-old cannot explain the statements of the resident and the evidence accumulated against him: the location, each time, of his flatbed truck, his telephone number which limits both places. “In the traveler community, we lend our phones to brothers and cousins,” he defends himself. “It would be ugly to throw out the brothers,” quips the prosecutor Paul-Edouard Lallois who does not believe for a minute in the “collective use” of the device.

Blurry CCTV photos
“Your criminal record is an Advent calendar,” says the representative of the prosecution. It includes “not chocolates” but “24 convictions for thefts”, one of which hit the headlines. In 2022, the scrap dealer received 4 years in prison after stealing vats from the Lehmann cheese factory in Vieux-Charmont . A truck crane had been used to transport the steel behemoths. The icing on the cake was that the author and his brother had stolen parts of the tanks (unboxed) then sealed from a garage. “I settled down, I became the father of a little girl,” says the repeat offender who was on parole during the latest events. Speaking in defense, Me Ornella Spatafora is outraged by the aggravating circumstance retained – violence – concerning the Pays-de-Clerval affair. “There was no face-to-face meeting. The flatbed truck damaged the other vehicle by passing between it and a pile of wood.”
“We didn’t teach him the right things”
As for the second offense, the Bisontine lawyer pleads for acquittal on the grounds of the blurred video surveillance photos provided by the City of Charquemont with which her client would have been identified. To insist on his complicated childhood: “He did not have a model father. He was not taught the right things. He was built by committing thefts.” Court decision: 30 months in prison with continued detention. The prosecution asked for 36.
