Advocate General David Senat demanded from the jurors of the Assize Court of Haute-Garonne, meeting in Toulouse, sentences of 8 to 13 years against three defendants. They are being prosecuted for the mechanical shovel attack on a bank branch in Pechbonnieu, north of Toulouse, in November 2015,
Pascal Teso, 51, bowed his head, as if sounded. Cédric Lubet, 32, remained stiff but his ears, bright red, betrayed his discomfort. A bit like Steve Turgy, 31, who tried to remain stoic in the face of the requisitions of Advocate General David Senat before the Assize Court of Haute-Garonne this Wednesday, June 16, at the end of the morning. Prosecuted for the breakage of a bank branch on November 27, 2015 in the middle of the night in Pechbonnieu, north of Toulouse, these three men, free for two years or more, listened to an indictment lasting almost 2 hours. And unsurprisingly, the Advocate General did not hold back his blows.
Before claiming 13 years against Pascal Teso, “the chef, the leader, the organizer”, 11 years against Cédric Lubet, “certainly a follower but above all a right-hand man” and 8 years for Steve Turgy, “the man hand, the worker ”, David Senat especially underlined“ the violence ”of the acts of the three men. “Before the crime, the attack on the bank, there were all the preparatory gestures marked by their violence, whether it was during the theft of the Renault Scenic, the handgun or the flatbed truck or when they pushed the gendarmes in the background, ”explains the Advocate General.
His most aggressive arguments, the magistrate reserves them to Pascal Teso of whom he mocks “the Spagiarri in the small week, the Arsène Lupine of the ordinary” to put forward his role of “boss” in a case “which unlike what you say owes nothing to chance ”. “And if in Bessières, in the tunnel that you are so proud to have dug, you left violence aside, this is not the case here. Already convicted, you had been warned and you are here on trial for a repeat offense. “
To Cédric Lubet whose ability he recognizes “to invest, to develop his hairdressing salons”, he criticizes the follower side. “Here it is not Jacques to say, but Pascal to say. Teso says, you run ”. Only Steve Turgy is a little spared, “but as you yourself recognized, you could say no, refuse to become the accomplice there too violent and threatening”.
“The real world of thugs ready for anything”
Before this indictment, the lawyers of the civil parties, Me Laurent Boguet for the two gendarmes sent to the ditch, Me Frédéric Langlois for the owner of the car stolen one month with the breakage of the bank, placed the three defendants in front of their responsibilities. “This woman for whom there was a before and an after, who lost her job, reproaches Me Langlois. A woman victim not assumed by the three accused, victim of violence not accepted but of a perfectly organized plan “” We are not here in a game, in a fable but in the real world, that of thugs ready for anything “insists Me Boguet. My Claire Thuault and Etienne Durand-Raucher defended the interests of the bank and the treasury accountant for the damage to the gendarmes’ car.
The defense provided by Mes Brandely, Delors, Mouton and Parra-Brugière pleads from 2 p.m. Verdict expected this Wednesday, June 16 in the early evening.
