The Ambush and Shooting: Legal Sentences and Medical Expertise

Thirty days of ITT issued to this young man residing in Fameck, owner of a Golf 8 GTI and working in Luxembourg. He is an acquaintance of the three defendants, themselves from the same neighborhood. One of the accused, at the origin of the ambush against the victim, mentions a debt of €2,500 to explain the facts.

For almost three hours, the president of the Thionville court, Héloïse Ferrari, relied on the hearings of young adults, all known to the justice system, to try to confront their significantly different versions, in order to confront them with their contradictions. And make them crack. An exercise akin to a new investigation of the file.

A plethora of questions were asked by the magistrate. Many of them were dodged with “I don’t know, I don’t remember, I don’t want to say who the sponsor is.” »

One thing is certain: the victim was shot in the leg, hit in the head, dragged by his hair. And more than a year after the events, she is trying to get back on track, with “a daily feeling of insecurity” in mind, according to her lawyer.

Shot with nitrous oxide

On the night of July 9 to 10, 2022, the trap set by the cronies closes on the young man. The trio knows from a source – which neither the investigators nor the president of the court were able to identify – that it must go through Fontoy. It is in this village that two of the accused unfold the imagined scenario, that of stamping the Golf before stealing it. Its owner is then robbed, his bag containing cash is snatched from his hands. The third suspect is at the wheel of the Volkswagen. The shooter, drunk, “under pressure”, fled running.

Video surveillance and use of telephones will help to outline the contours of the investigation. Without, however, being able to specify in detail the course of what followed this pre-evening spent drinking and inhaling nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and this morning when the trio found themselves in an apartment in Fameck .

Medical expertise

The trio, placed in pre-trial detention, learned of the sentence that the northern Moselle court imposed on them in the middle of the evening, this Tuesday, November 21. Or five years in prison including one year suspended probation for Jorhan Valenza, coupled with a ban on residence in Fameck lasting two years. Bouabdellah Boussaid received four years in prison, including one year suspended on probation and a ban on contact. Finally, Reda Belhachemy will serve a 30-month prison sentence, including one year suspended on probation. Added to this are six months of total revocation of a previous suspended sentence and also a ban on approaching the victim.

All three will have to compensate the victim whose physical and moral damages will be determined following a future medical assessment.

Identity published after one year in prison.
