Moment of inattention by the investigator

“He is currently presented before an investigating magistrate.

The prosecution requested that he be placed in pre-trial detention, ”explains Stéphanie Pradelle, deputy prosecutor of the Bastia prosecutor's office.

The man had been sentenced in immediate appearance on August 10 to ten months suspended imprisonment and two years of prohibition to approach his wife by the Bastia judicial court for acts of harassment.

Just days later, he tried to kidnap his wife, who wanted a divorce.

The man then fled and was arrested two weeks later.

He had been taken into custody at the Ghisonaccia gendarmerie brigade, where he resides.

And he had fled, taking advantage of a moment of inattention from the investigator.

The wife's family did not hide their fear from the local press, believing the woman to be in danger.
