Toulouse: the fugitives throw bundles of €10,000 and €3,000 out of the car window
Pursued by the police, men threw wads of cash through the windows.
This is called throwing money away. On Sunday, at the end of the afternoon, an identity check was fired in a chase in the Rangueil sector in Toulouse. Two people described themselves in a car when police officers wanted to check them. The driver did not comply, he fled, followed by the police.
Two police officers injured
As he drove, packages were thrown out of the windows onto the roadway. Quickly, the fugitives stopped their vehicle. Not to submit to control but to run away. One was quickly overpowered by a police officer but he rebelled and kicked him in the hand causing a fracture.
The official must be taken to the emergency room. Determined not to let himself be taken on board, the suspect continued to rebel. He injured another policeman. The two men, aged 32 and 50, were taken into custody. As for the products they had thrown out the window under the eyes of the police, they were not narcotics but two bonds of banknotes. One of 10000€ and the second of 3000€.
During the searches, the investigators still got their hands on the cash for a value of 1150€. The injured police officers were prescribed two days and ten days of total work stoppage by the medical examiner. At the end of his police custody, the youngest was released. His sidekick, already deemed known to justice, must be tried very quickly before the criminal court, in particular for non-justification of resources.
