The 34-year-old multimillionaire was tried for carrying a gun. He explained that he was threatened and bought this weapon to defend himself.

His life changed on 1 September 2017. Hachmi, 34, from the northern districts of Marseille, has the winning ticket. And not just any: a EuroMillions ticket, which allows him to win a € 28 million prize, the 38th largest sum won by a Frenchman.

But the change may have been a bit too radical for this man, formerly courier for the business of his uncle, and who becomes one of the most fortunate men in Marseille, reports La Provence . If Hachmi makes his family and friends benefit from his fortune, he also feels threatened and arms himself to protect himself. This led the young man, already convicted of fraud and theft, to have to appear in the Criminal Court for "acquisition, possession and transport of weapons" .

43 balls and a charger

Indeed, in the night of August 6, Hachmi is controlled driving one of his two Porsches by a police patrol. The agents find in his possession 43 bullets and a magazine but no trace of the weapon. It will be found later in the toilet of the police station where the suspect is questioned, on his indications.

When the president asks him why he is carrying a handgun, he says, "It was to defend me. Especially for my wife, if we want to remove or hurt her. My money has attracted greed. "

Hachmi explains that he was assaulted by three people, while some time later, after his move to the Var, a hooded commando tried to enter his property, before being repulsed by his dogs, relates Provence .

"Master one day, valet the next day"

The prosecutor is demanding against him four firm months and a "ban on Marseille land. At least you will not be threatened again . " His lawyer tempers: " My client has been generous and has been invaded by greed, racketeers, ladies ... It's not Alain Delon but Omar Sharif neighborhood! Me, I keep repeating to him this proverb: master one day, valet the next day. "

Finally, Hachmi is fined 12,000 euros. An amount he should pay rather easily.
