Object of the decision
Assistance to a defendant before the Paris High Court and then the Paris Court of Appeal.
The latter was warned of having:
- Obtained or attempted to obtain by violence, threat of violence or coercion the delivery of funds, securities or any property and this in a state of legal repetition;
- Carried a category D bladed or incapacitating weapon, in this case a knife, outside his home and without legitimate reason;
- Deceived banking institutions into handing over cash by using fraudulent tactics.
The Paris High Court acquitted the defendant of the prosecution.
The Public Prosecutor, however, appealed the judgment.
By a judgment handed down on June 28, 2018, the Court of Appeal confirmed in all its provisions the judgment of the Paris High Court.
This decision is final.
