The three young people who burned down the Auzon space, in Carpentras, “will compensate the victims for the rest of their lives”

This Monday, the Carpentras children's court “established the guilt of the three defendants“, reports Me Frédéric Bassompierre, the City's lawyer, at the end of the deliberation. Three defendants who appeared for the fire at the Azon space, in Carpentras, which occurred in July 2022.

In detail, “the youngest (14 and a half years old at the time of the facts) receives a sentence of eighteen months in prison with

a simple reprieve, the youngest (15 and a half years old at the time of the facts) for eighteen months accompanied by a probationary reprieve (obligations of care, training or professional activity, and compensation for victims), and the oldest (17 years at the time of the facts, and who contested his guilt) of twenty-four months accompanied by a probationary suspension (with the same obligations as the younger child). In addition, all three are prohibited from possessing a weapon for five years.“

“A simple trash fire”

That's not all. The parquet “summarizes the case as a simple trash fire“, deplored Mr. Frédéric Bassompierre at the beginning of December, after the trio's appearance behind closed doors before the children's court. He even described the requisitions as “an little angelic“with regard to the harm.
