EASTERN REGION. 5 young people wanted to get rich off the heads of other people but did not think about the consequences. But it is before the Criminal Court of Champ-Fleuri that they appeared yesterday, accused of fraud. They used no less than 25 stolen checks to do their own shopping in various stores. 3 of them escape firm prison.

Five young people, including three brothers, all aged between 22 and 26 years old, were tried before the court of Saint-Denis yesterday for acts of fraud dating from 2016. These dalons would have used stolen checks to pay in several brands, in Sainte -Suzanne, Sainte-André or the Plaine-des-Palmistes.
A certain Mr. Mouriama had had his car stolen, in which there was notably his checkbook and his identity card. Barely 15 days after the theft, the crooks wereted no time in taking action. The victim saw sums debited from his account. The opposition made to his bank had not been taken into account. The latter thus reimbursed him. In total, nearly 6,000 euros were spent through 9 checks in the name of Mr. Mouriama.
The TMA company, in Saint-André, was also a victim of this deception. While the company was to receive its new checkbook by post … She never saw the color. 16 checks were made in the name of TMA, ie the equivalent of nearly 7,000 euros. But none of them will give more details about the person who gave them these notebooks: “It is a friend”.
“Basic purchases”
One of the brothers attested to having used these means of payment knowingly. “I knew it was wrong, but I had no choice”, he explained. Without a job, he would have needed food, showing that it was “basic necessities.” However, although a large number of frauds took place in food brands such as Carrefour, Jumbo or Picard Surgelés, some took place in particular at Ravate tissues.
They had declared that their father was “a great businessman when it comes to checks”. So the brothers, accompanied by their “uncles”, would they have taken their father’s example? Certainly, but less experience. When they did not present Mr. Mouriama’s identity document, it was theirs that they showed to justify their means of payment. The lawyer for one of them described them as a “team of nickel-plated feet”.
“To party”
Although they each confess, “mi regret”, “mi the changed”, the 5 dalons rather seem to take this story lightly. Indeed, all have brought documents proving jobs or training, but when one declares having done this to “to party”, another starts to smile. The only one with a clean criminal record said “my fairy but since my pu fair nothing”. It is the only one that one could believe because, while one of his brothers is behind bars, the second played the repeat offenders, again with checks. Another wrote 89 bad checks, valued at nearly 80,000 euros. With the help of his acolytes, the latter would have taken the steps to open his bank account. He will then have supplied him with only a hundred euros, enough to obtain checkbooks.
Although 4 years have passed, the prosecutor has not obtained any further explanations. They were thus convicted on the basis of their records and their involvement. Two of them took 6 months probationary reprieve for 2 years. The swindler, already imprisoned, receives 8 months, 6 of which are suspended. his brother is sentenced to the same sentence but with only 4 months of suspension. The unknown justice gets away with 2 months of simple reprieve.
