False married couples don’t tell the same story near Caen
Through Writing Caen
Published on
Thursday, October 7, Muriel * (39 years old) and Karim * (38 years old) appeared before the court correctional Caen for attempting to organize wedding from October to January at Hérouville Saint-Clair (Calvados), and an attempt to organize acknowledgement child in Caen in the spring. All this to obtain a residence permit, the benefit of protection against expulsion or to acquire French nationality.
For Karim, an Algerian national under house arrest since February 2017, there was also an irregular stay on French territory and non-compliance with his obligations – he did not report regularly to the police.
Report to the prosecutor
Muriel, declared immature by the psychiatrist expert, would be a follower of “multiple marriages”. She would have assembled files for 3 or 4 people, each time Maghrebians without papers.
Would she be “a great lover”, “marked by the Mediterranean type”? Would she take these steps, as she says “so that we are happy”? This is the whole issue of the criminal hearing: to seek the sincerity of the marriage project between the 2 defendants.
Rodolphe Thomas, the mayor of Hérouville Saint-Clair, asked himself the question to the point of sending a report to the public prosecutor. Which vetoed the paternity recognition file filed shortly after.
She wanted to marry another man
If Muriel and Karim were good enough to seal their love, they do not have the same version of their story. On what date did they meet? When did they live together? Their answers do not coincide.
According to the investigation, Muriel files a marriage file with another man in March 2020, before canceling it. During their supposed relationship, she allegedly took steps to marry someone else. To which Karim retorts: “I did not know. “
It is also difficult to know who the accused is pregnant. His explanations are far from clear. For his part, Karim has always declared that he has been single without children since he arrived in France in 2014. His asylum application having been revoked, he remains in an irregular situation.
For him, are required 18 months of suspended sentence and an inadmissibility of 5 years; for Muriel, 6 months suspended.
Decision expected on October 21.
* Loan names.
