Sentenced for having emigrated to Morocco by abandoning his family in Monaco
Absent at the helm, the 52-year-old Monegasque received a three-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 1,500 euros for non-pecuniary damage, reports Nice morning. The court also pronounced the inadmissibility of the payment of the arrears. The health crisis linked to Covid-19 is at the origin of the outbreak of this case.

“The Covid on the right back! The defendant would have lost 75% of his clientele with the pandemic. Or, he provides documents that suit him and conceal his real resources. What a fanciful and fallacious excuse to lose interest in her two children! Four ordinances have been set for a total contributory share of 700 euros per month. Apart from erratic payments, Monsieur never paid off his debts from 2020 to 2021. Yet his tribute to the family obligation remains modest. But he prefers to prioritize his living conditions after emigrating to Morocco. The arrears cumulate a sum of 5,572 euros. Add 10,000 euros for the damage suffered by this battle! “, we summarize.

For the prosecution, the defendant’s desire not to pay was indeed voluntary: “Does this engineer have a rent of 750 euros in Marrakech as he claims? Or more likely to imagine local ones, as noted by first substitute Valérie Sagné. He is then rich in Morocco, especially with a sum of 1,811 euros, raised on his account. His desire not to pay is displayed. In addition, there is no evidence to support the poor financial situation of his company suffered by the health crisis.

“My client is criticized because he does not have the means to make the trip. He’s an IT consultant. He needs to work. It does not roll on gold. In addition to arrears settled since February 2020, this father provides his children with bank cards for their expenses, around 3,000 euros. The victim cannot request arrears. If Madame does not have sufficient financial means, why does she still live in Monaco? His request is vindictive. Bring its demands to fairer proportions, ”explains Hervé Campana, the defendant’s lawyer, before the court renders its judgment.
