Prison closes for two scooter thieves in Monaco
Reminiscences of childhood? One can doubt it for a Niçois and a Beausoleillois with their comparison a few days apart, handcuffed, in front of the criminal court. Aged 29 and 34 respectively, the two defendants had entered the bicycle room of the FANB establishment in order to seize electric scooters. Admittedly, plotting such nuisances was child’s play for these individuals perfectly familiar with the practice of mowing. Especially since these staff movement motors were summarily attached. They did not have to fight to take them and flee with their unusual loot in the direction of the SNCF station to reach the city of Nice.
Already known to the police in France and Monaco
But thanks to the video surveillance images, the investigators quickly noticed the ploy of the two individuals. As they were already known to the police for similar acts – the oldest would be wanted for stealing jewelry – they were quickly identified.
The youngest displays twenty-one entries on his French criminal record, including thirteen for thefts. The other, in addition to three mentions in the Principality, does better with thirty-five in France, including fifteen for theft.
The first was arrested the next day as he left the train station. The second, recognized three days later by a police officer on Boulevard Princesse-Charlotte, was a repeat offense of refoulement.
Whimsical remarks for the two defendants
In the box, interviewed for each case by presidents Léa Parienti-Galfre and Florestan Bellinzona
, the defendants are part of a heavy alcoholism. They had come by train to Beausoleil to withdraw money at the end of the morning in a bank where one of the two friends had his account. Before leaving the neighboring town, they generate a hook by the old college of the Franciscans. They quickly noticed the scooters the theft had not come. Used to make the trip to the station, they still got on the train.
In response to the relevant observations of the magistrates, the lads still considered themselves alcoholic on the day of their arrest.
In turn, the two prisoners first announce a treatment under pills and the ignorance of having entered a school, without intention to steal but rather to urinate.
Then, we succeeded in the sequence of a brain function. The Niçois had his memory failing. He did not remember well the alleged facts. He would have left the scooter in Nice. To try in vain to justify themselves, these characters will put fanciful words on the reasons of their evils.
The angry magistrates From where the irritation of the magistrates vis-a-vis the accumulation of arguments which made no sense.“You enter the room and come out a minute later with a scooter each: you have come to fly! What friend would have exchanged them for 150 euros, would have estimated at 350 one? You steal the property of college students who are useful for moving from home to school: it’s ugly! Do not attack the civil party by pointing the finger at them , ordered President Florestan Bellinzona.
You are the culprit and this is the third time that you have come to Monaco despite a conviction since 2018. You thought that inadmissibility was no longer running? ” In her requisitions, the substitute Emmanuelle Carniello is formally:
“According to your behavior, you came to Monaco to steal! Withdrawing money and walking around doesn’t make sense. Pills and alcohol cannot be used as an excuse for offenses. You support occupying the profession of landscape worker without revealing the name of your employer. In France, these defendants were the subject of several supervised release measures. There is indeed a will to harm and a risk by the second individual in legal recidivism. This is his thirty-fifth court appearance and he will have spent a third of his life in prison. A farm for everyone. “
Somehow, the defense will plead for two clients in contrition with a past of drug addicts. Each lawyer will try to move by describing an unhappy childhood with a mother who never took care of her offspring.In good
, the court sentenced the two defendants respectively to six months’ imprisonment, four of which were suspended, and three months plus forty-five days with the revocation of the suspension. They will each have to pay 500 euros to the civil parties.
