Miscellaneous – Justice | Avignon – He strikes his partner and his daughter-in-law: four months in prison
Early Saturday evening, Kamal Zaroual, a 36-year-old Moroccan, who was heavily alcoholic, went to his daughter-in-law’s house to ask her to form a relationship with her cousin… before, in front of her children, to pushing her against a wall and then punching her in the face and punching her. He had come a few minutes earlier to hit his partner, a 50-year-old woman, mother of nine children.
During his hearing, his company revealed that they had been the victim of violence on several occasions during their three-year relationship. Around midnight, the police arrested the respondent who had just broken down the front door of the building where his companion lives. Of course, he admitted to having got angry but denied having stolen his companion’s Saab car and committed any violence by treating his daughter-in-law as a “liar”.
Going so far as to say that the traces on his face appear from a skin disease. This man, who is also under an obligation to leave French territory, was tried on Monday before the Avignon Criminal Court, as part of an immediate comparison. Asked by President Mathieu, he maintains that he stayed in France because “my wife told me” and sticks to his posture: “When I drink I don’t remember anything. And she’s a liar”.
As a civil party, Me Amr denounces the domestic tyrant behavior of the defendant, a violent man who keeps his company under control. In this case, the deputy prosecutor, who has no certainty about the identity of the defendant, is asking him for an 8-month prison sentence, 4 of which are suspended, to issue a warrant of committal and to pronounce an inadmissibility from French territory for a period of three years. Me Elineau-Yannakis asks the court to take into account the state of dependence in which his client found himself and, with caution, the statements of the victims in this file where there are no witnesses. After deliberation, the court sentenced him to the required sentence of 8 months in prison, 4 of which were suspended, and to a ban on staying in Vaucluse for a period of 5 years. It is dedicated to a mandate of deposit. At the civil level, €1,000 is granted to the victim, in compensation for his non-pecuniary damage.
