The physical and verbal violence, racist and homophobic remarks, took place in May 2023 at the naturist camp in Cap d’Agde. The three defendants, security agents, aged 22, 24 and 60, since suspended by the city and placed under judicial supervision, are accused of aggravated racial violence in a meeting.
In season, 25 people ensure security at the Cap d’Agde naturist camp every day. An international tourist site which welcomes 45,000 vacationers. Suffice it to say that altercations, cases of theft or violence are taken very seriously, as are police interventions.
This time, the facts are serious. Three village security agents are in the dock for aggravated racial violence because it was committed in a meeting by a person entrusted with a public service mission. The trio being municipal agents.
On May 27, 2023, Marcos, a 54-year-old man, was found naked outside the village. Suffering from a major ankle fracture, he benefited from 45 days of ITT. The business manager, a homosexual of Brazilian origin, then accused security service agents of having attacked him while he was going to the toilet, insulting him and calling him a “nigga” and of “dirty faggot.”
According to them, the fifty-year-old had illegally entered the naturist village via the Bay of Pigs beach and made threatening remarks. They therefore escorted him outside the site.
But the victim’s version is very different. First, the man had a valid subscription in his name for access to the village. And he says he was insulted, discriminated against and beaten up, hence the days of ITT.
A young 22-year-old agent, implicated in three other similar cases, is accused in this case.
Two other security agents, aged 24 and 60, also placed under judicial supervision, will also be tried for the violence committed on May 27, 2023 (45 days of ITT) with the aggravating circumstances of having committed the acts in a meeting and because of the victim’s race or ethnicity. Their criminal records are clean.
They risk up to ten years in prison.
The 22-year-old man, municipal agent of the commune of Agde, also security agent and responsible for the barrier to regulated access to the naturist village, is also being prosecuted for serious violence by a person entrusted with a public service mission. , committed on June 27, September 3 and 9, 2023 on three other victims, as well as for having made threats against one of them to dissuade her from filing a complaint.
Violence that he denied in police custody and before the magistrates.
An offense punishable by five years in prison.
The defendant has never been convicted of this type of violence. His only offense, to date, is drunk driving in 2023.
Two new victims made themselves known in December and they also filed a complaint for violence. One was even prescribed 60 days of ITT after being severely beaten.
