Toulouse: a settlement of family scores before the assizes
The Assize Court of Haute-Garonne judges this week an attempted murder, in September 2018 in Roques-sur-Garonne. Under the background of drug trafficking, the three main defendants, like the victim, are followers of silence.
Without a call from the neighborhood panicked by gunshots, justice would never have heard of an assassination attempt, on the evening of September 21, 2018 in Roques-sur-Garonne. A man was targeted by an individual who arrived on a large scooter. The bullet shattered the rear window of his car and then the weapon jammed. The target was not injured, the shooter and his son, the driver disappeared and the victim was not seen fit to give the alert.
Seized of the file and under the authority of the examining magistrate Fabrice Rives, the gendarmes of the research section of Toulouse started multiple listenings, including the victim detained in after the attack for a hundred grams of resin of cannabis forgotten in his garage. “My consumption,” he said. Except that the turbulent story of a deal point in Bordelongue, in Toulouse, quickly interested the investigators.
Dispute over a point of deal
This place of sale, very profitable, had been managed, according to the investigations by a family whose man targeted who “worked” with two brothers, his cousins. A dispute would have opposed them. In August, shots rang out in Bordelongue. This “descent” would have been experienced as an alert for the two brothers. And they would have decided to retaliate.
The story was revealed in its main lines by a few talkative witnesses during their testimony by the gendarmes. these “little” hands of traffic have all, or almost, retracted. And this scenario has never been confirmed by the main defendants who repeat, at will, their innocence. Even the victim kept his thoughts to herself, remaining mute, in front of the gendarmes as in the office of the examining magistrate.
The defense will plead acquittal
What will happen this week in front of the jurors? A new mentor poker game? Not impossible. The victim, who has long hesitated to become a civil party, will she come to attend the debates? “She wants it,” warns her defender Me Alexandre Parra-Bruguière.
In defense, Mes Emmanuelle Franck, Alexandre Martin, Edouard Martial, Jacques Derieux taking care of Younes and Djilali Beldjillali, aged 24 and 26. Like Me Eric Mouton for Kevin Hoareau possible shooter, competent lawyers plead the acquittal well. Me Christian Etelin, accompanies the ex-companion of the mother of the two brothers, in whom the investigators found ammunition similar to those used during the attempted murder. Khalid Derbache, 53, also admitted to having kept and packaged the drugs from the deal point. In front of the jurors, will he keep these depositions?
There could be some outbursts during these debates reported by Michel Huyette. Advocate General Pierre Aurignac will prosecute this attempted murder in an organized gang. Verdict expected on Friday.
