Miscellaneous – Justice | Avignon: “The bac infiltrated me into the gang”, defends a defendant against the judge
“It’s the baccalaureate, run!“With such a cry, in the form of a confession, the police did not have to look for long who were chasing them. On October 11 at 8:35 p.m., they intervened in the Saint-Jean sector, in Avignon , at the intersection of Bir-Hakeim and Barcelona streets, where the dealers have taken up residence for a while now. After the traditional shouts of “Ara, ara!” Ramzi, extracting himself from a group, panicked.
Caught up a few meters further by a ferry vehicle, this 41-year-old Tunisian national was previously spotted getting rid of a bag and a black sock. In the first, law enforcement will seize 10g of herbal cannabis in vials and sachets. In the sock, 11 pipettes of cocaine for a total weight of 11 g will be found. Loot embellished with a switchblade discovered on Ramzi.
“I’m homeless, it was for me to make sandwiches“, tried to defend himself the man at the helm, not helped by his two convictions for similar facts and his ban on possessing a weapon pronounced a few months earlier.
During the investigation, he had already shown a curious attitude, first refusing to leave his cell, making it impossible to hear him in police custody. Before the liberty and detention judge, he then explained that he had been “infiltrated into the gang by the bac who wanted me to bring them information“.”They are the ones who offered me to coal“, he continued before considering himself the victim of a”big handle“.
Words that partly prompted the court to request a psychiatric expertise by returning the file for the first time. The latter did not reveal any impairment of discernment or pathology rendering him criminally irresponsible. Found guilty, he was sentenced to 12 months in prison with continued detention and banishment from French territory for 10 years. In an irregular situation, he had already been the subject of two obligations to leave French territory.
