This Friday, November 8, around twenty people were tried at the Bayonne judicial court.
This Friday, the Bayonne judicial court was to rule on a case of false driving licenses, brought to light at the start of 2020. According to France Bluean official from the Pyrénées-Atlantiques sub-prefecture would have, for around ten years, issued points, but also false licenses, in exchange for gifts or services, such as match tickets or restaurant invitations.
