In Tarn-et-Garonne, a man offered motorists to blame strangers for their traffic offenses. (©Archives / News Toulouse)
Salty fine, loss of points… A Tarn-et-Garonnais had found the trick to avoid these “inconveniences” for traffic offenders. His trick? Accusing foreign motorists. Quite simply !
Free of suspicious accounts
It’s on his page Facebook that the Tarn-et-Garonne national police tell the story, Wednesday June 22, 2022.
On the sidelines of a search, two conscientiously kept notebooks are found at the home of a suspect. Inside, the police find a long list of identities and registration numbers next to which we can read the words “paid”.
It remains to know the usefulness of these account books…
He offered his services on a social network
The answer will be delivered by the suspect while in custody.
On a social network, the individual offered his subscribers to “jump their fines as well as the loss of driving license points by denouncing a foreign driver in place of the perpetrator of the offense”, explain the police. If the police do not give all the tricks of this system (to prevent other clever people from repeating the same operations, editor’s note), they emphasize that this activity was clearly more lucrative than ethical.
The case will continue at the Montauban Criminal Court where the mis en cause has just been summoned. Its subscribers will also have to report to the Public Prosecutor.
