This June 25, 2021, the people of Toulouse in jubilation celebrate their new title of Champions of France. And as with every victory, the St. Peter’s Square is the epicenter of the party, with hundreds of young people gathered.

10 days of ITT for the victim

After tense verbal exchanges, he kicks his interlocutor, especially in the face, to the point of leaving him unconscious on the ground. From violence which led the forensic doctor to prescribe the victim 10 days of ITT.
