The driver accused of having killed, drunk at the wheel of a super-powerful car, the son of chef Yannick Alléno must be determined on his fate this Thursday, November 28. The prosecution had requested eight years of imprisonment accompanied by a committal warrant against him.
The Paris criminal court must render its decision, this Thursday, November 28, concerning the case of the death of Antoine Alléno, son of chef Yannick Alléno, on May 8, 2022. A man named Francky D., drunk driving a vehicle at the time of the facts, is thus judged today, at a time when the question of the creation of an offense of “road homicide” is relaunched.
The affair had a profound impact on public opinion. Shortly after the opening of the trial, last Thursday October 31, an eight-year prison sentence with committal warrant, as well as a cancellation of driving license and a ban on driving for ten years, were requested against the main suspect. The case has since been reserved and a judgment is expected today.

The suspect had hit a VTC, a few kilometers further, at the Pont de l’Alma, as well as a scooter, stopped at a red light, of which Antoine Alléno was at the controls.
It was then discovered that the suspect was already known to the police and the courts for cases of vehicle theft, organized theft, violence, possession of firearms, various traffic offenses and even fraud.
A few days after the events, and following his arrest, the suspect was indicted on charges of “involuntary manslaughter by the driver of a land motor vehicle, aggravated by the obvious state of intoxication and the invalidation of the driver’s driving license, unintentional injuries aggravated by the same circumstances, damage, theft with violence and hit and run,” according to what the prosecution had indicated.
The offense of road homicide soon to be debated
In reaction to the tragedy which affected the Alléno family, the deputy of La Droite republicaine des Alpes-Maritimes Eric Pauget wanted, through a bill, to create an offense of road homicide.
In detail, this text aimed to create three new offenses: road homicide, road injuries leading to an ITT (total interruption of work) of more than three months and road injuries leading to an ITT less than or equal to three months.
Voted unanimously in the National Assembly and approved, with some modifications in the Senate, the text did not continue its parliamentary journey following the dissolution last June.
Re-elected, the MP assured CNEWS on September 18 that he had re-submitted his bill.
At the same time, the MP defends the extension of additional penalties such as immobilization and confiscation of a vehicle, but also the cancellation and ban on the issuance of a driving license for ten years.
