They threatened the victim with a crowbar and a knife to extort cryptocurrency from him. The three young defendants offered their apologies to the victim. "The victim can no longer set foot in his apartment, he no longer lives in Angers. He is afraid of you," stated Anaïg Le Noan, the victim's lawyer. On July 10, 2024, around 5:30 PM, the young man found himself face-to-face with a man armed with a crowbar, who had just smashed his door. He tried to take refuge in the bathroom, but a second man, whom he described as a friend, arrived. Both men threatened him and demanded 10,000 euros. According to his account, they even suggested cutting off one of his fingers with a butterfly knife found on the scene and sending it to his parents. The victim had previously been subjected to similar incidents by another man on June 4, 2024, and a break-in at his home on July 17. For some time, many have been questioning his lifestyle. "I talked too much about my funds. I found ways to make a few euros," he admitted. The money came from scams involving fake ads on Leboncoin, which he acknowledges. In total, 12,500 euros in cryptocurrency were stolen from him under duress. "I didn't want to scare him" This Friday, September 6, three men were judged for extortion before the Angers Correctional Court. The victim recognized his assailants. An analysis of his account proves the transfers, and video surveillance confirms their presence. The three young men admit to the facts but downplay the violence of the scene. "It was calm, I didn't want to scare him. There were no aggressive gestures," one of the young men recounted. "I never forced him," another insisted. "He gave it to me because he was afraid I would file a complaint and expose his illegal activities." For the third, it was just about "breaking the door. I had just failed my baccalaureate, and I needed money to go on vacation." All express remorse and offer their apologies. "The Perfect Victim" Arguments that are not convincing for Jérôme Laurent, from the public prosecutor's office: "The victim, having things to hide, will not go to the police station. This makes her the perfect victim." He requests up to four years in prison for the victim's friend, described as "the pivot of this affair." A mistake in judgment for Sébastien Naudin, lawyer for the 20-year-old man, "the Machiavellian brain of the situation because he comes from the Paris suburbs: we must stop making shortcuts. The allure of gain, the ease, pushed him to commit the acts." Abdoulaye Fofana is sentenced to two years in prison, one year suspended, as well as the revocation of a previous one-year suspended sentence. Yassine Kerrou receives three years, one year suspended, and Abakar Lande 30 months, one year suspended. They are kept in detention and will have to compensate the victim for a little over 15,000 euros. ================================================================================================ generated from attacks-export-Gart-website.json + reported_K&R | case 179 ================================================================================================
