Jacques Mariani was sentenced Wednesday in Aix-en-Provence to three years in prison in a case of witness bribery for which he had already received five years in prison in a judgment quashed by the Court of Cassation.
Considered by the investigators as the heir to the criminal gang La Brise de mer, Jacques Mariani had been found guilty of having remote-controlled, in October 2012, the testimony of one of his fellow prisoners from the Saint-Maur power station.
Placed on wiretapping in detention, Jacques Mariani had appeared in a role of intermediary having notably allowed the payment of a sum of 130,000 euros to the relatives of Karim Boughanemi, who testified during the trial on appeal of Ange-Toussaint Federici. The police intervened in the act at Marseille airport when a second payment of 70,000 euros was made the day after his deposition.
Wrong address
The criminal division of the Court of Cassation annulled in September the judgment of the Aix-en-Provence court of appeal, ordering Jacques Mariani to five years in prison because the final indictment drawn up at the end of the investigation had was sent to Jacques Mariani's Bastia lawyer at the wrong address.
Already sentenced in 2008 to 15 years' imprisonment for murder and then to four years in prison, in October 2018, for the corruption of a prison warden, Jacques Mariani was also indicted last June in the investigation into Attempts to escape from prison by multi-repeat robber Redoine Faïd.
