“I am a man of honor, kind, who loves his children. I can’t go to jail. It’s impossible. I will pay. The police can come to my house whenever they want. “Before his imprisonment after the hearing, these are the words of this father, residing in Clouange with his wife and six children, worried for acts of domestic and intra-family violence over a period that has been running since 2015.
After three hours of immediate appearance, his tears will not soften the Thionville court. The one who presented himself this Thursday as an “exemplary dad” and a caring husband with his young wife, and who was until then not known to French justice, was directly sent to prison.
Four years of imprisonment had been required by the public prosecutor, including one year with the probationary suspension. He ends up with two years in prison, including ten months suspended probation for 3 years.
In their long pleadings, prosecution and civil parties described the daily life of this family, marked by a patriarch who strikes, violently, insults, spits on his family. Madame was a recluse at home. The siblings were closely watched. So much so that the defendant had installed a network of cameras in the house, to ensure that no one crossed any yellow line.

He wanted to bribe teachers and a school psychologist
It turns out that thanks to one of the couple’s sons, who spoke to his teacher, the closed-door was vented. And when the police arrived at their home, the 35-year-old mother was able to breathe: “Thank you for coming to save me. I was afraid he would kill me with an ax ”.
According to the public prosecutor, “Monsieur created a climate of anguish, fear and terror. He was tyrannical. A real executioner, who had even tried to bribe the teachers of his children, as well as the school psychologist of one of his sons. “
The respondent is prohibited from entering into contact with his family. He will not have to approach the schools of his children, whom he will have to compensate (from 1000 € to 1500 €) and will be forced to an obligation of care.
To preserve the anonymity of minor children, the identity of the accused is not disclosed
