After the death of young Nahel, killed during a police check on June 27, an ambulance driver made himself known on social networks. In a video that has gone viral, we see him cry out in anger against the police.
Where does the intox come from?
After the death of young Nahel, killed during a police check on June 27, an ambulance driver made himself known on social networks. In a video that has gone viral, we see him cry out in anger against the police. This earned him to be placed in police custody for contempt and threats against the police.
A few days later, lots of messages (PJ) broadcast on Twitter indicated that this paramedic had been sentenced to 6 months in prison. To support their words, some share the image of a banner displayed on the antenna of BFMTV, where one can read : “The paramedic who posted the policeman’s identity on Snapchat is sentenced to 18 months in prison, 12 of which are suspended.”
Why is this wrong?
There has been a lot of confusion around this topic. The reason is simple: several people, including two paramedics, were tried the same day, at the court of Nanterre, in immediate appearance.
In fact, the paramedic filmed in the video was indeed found guilty of contempt, explains the parquet floor of Nanterre to Désintox. But he was released from punishment by the court, who took into account “the context” in which this outburst took place.
Another paramedic was also tried. This is the colleague of the first, who filmed the video. Prosecuted for “dissemination of personal information making it possible to identify a person holding public authority, exposing him to a risk of attack”, he was released.
Finally, a third person, a young man of 20, was tried the same day. It was he who was sentenced to 18 months in prison, 12 of which were suspended, for having disseminated the coordinates of the police officer who shot Nahel. Contrary to what was indicated by BFMTV, and which may have misled Internet users, this defendant was not an ambulance driver. And had absolutely nothing to do with the video viewed millions of times.
