The swollen face of judo champion Margaux Pinot has made the rounds of social networks and aroused indignation in 24 hours. She accuses her companion and trainer Alain Schmitt of having punched her. Assures him not to have struck blows, and is released by justice. The Bobigny prosecutor’s office appealed.
She chose to show her swollen face on social media because she doesn’t understand a court ruling. Sunday, November 28, Margaux Pinot denounces a violent assault on the part of her companion and ex-trainer. From Tuesday, he was tried in Bobigny for an immediate appearance, then released, the court having found that the evidence was insufficient.
They are two personalities from the world of judo: Margaux Pinot, Olympic champion as a team this summer and Alain Schmitt, his trainer at the time. Two versions that clash. This Thursday, December 2, the young judokate publicly told her story of the evening. A little earlier, Alain Schmitt was giving a press conference. His version of the facts did not convince the Bobigny prosecutor who had requested an exemplary sentence. The prosecution immediately appealed against this release, in order to obtain a new trial.
