The defendant’s silhouette suggests the force of his slap. “A round trip”, according to his wife whose eardrum was perforated.
Ten days of total incapacity for work were prescribed for him. The violence dates back to June 27, the victim’s birthday. The couple was under tension at this time.
“I don’t like anger but my wife didn’t want to hear anything,” explains the defendant. He wears a sleeveless vest, puts his hands on the window of the box where he stands facing the Thionville Criminal Court.
Tall, beefy, shaved head, goatee and determined gaze, he sweeps away the other accusations of violence, physical and verbal, repeated by his companion at the hearing. It blows, plague, tramples. “I love him,” he repeats. “I am not a dog. »
He also minimizes when the president broadcasts a video taken by the victim on June 11, in which he threatens her with death.
An anti-reconciliation bracelet
The 48-year-old says he did everything for his wife. He presents himself as a protective husband who agrees not to work to drive her to work, so that she “breaks through” in Luxembourg. His attitude does not convince the court. It will even have the opposite effect.
The magistrates pronounce a sentence much higher than that required by the public prosecutor. They sentence Alain Raia to 36 months in prison, including 18 months with a probationary reprieve for two years. The man is being held in custody following his trial. When he leaves, he must in particular justify psychological care and stay away from the victim. Justice will equip him with an anti-reconciliation bracelet.
