On 7 October, the Assize Court of Marne had decided to sentence Christophe M., this police officer of the BAC of Reims, to two years of imprisonment with suspended sentence, guilty of “intentional violence with a weapon resulting in permanent mutilation “about Maxime Beux, this 22-year-old fan at the time who lost the use of his left eye on 13 February 2016, after a Ligue 1 match between Reims and Bastia.
One of the policeman’s lawyers, Me Nicolas Brazy, confirmed to us this Monday afternoon that his client had decided to appeal. “While some see the sentence as a good decision, we do not, and we believe he should be acquitted. “ The appeal process will take place in Troyes or Charleville-Mezières.
