The affair had caused a great stir. A retired couple was tried on Monday in Montpellier court, accused of harassing their tenant and neighbor nurse during confinement. According to her, her owners feared that she would contract Covid-19 in the hospital and contaminate them. But the couple was finally released.
All the claims of the civil parties rejected
All the civil parties' claims were rejected. Lack of hot water in the nurse's apartment? Overconsumption linked to the arrival in the apartment of several members of his family, they answer. Power cuts? A simple fuse which would have blown ensures the torque. For the attempt to smoke the exhaust system, a video provided by the defense lawyer shows that the car was far from the window, which was also closed.

All smiles at the end of the court, Me Legros, the defense lawyer, sees him a victory of justice over the media outburst. "As I said, we were all behind our heroes.

Between the nurse harassed in full confinement and the simple neighborhood conflict, the judges of the Montpellier court have in any case decided.
