The case has been going on since last September, but it was only revealed this weekend, via an article in

La Dépêche du Midi

, where the victim was a rotativist for more than 30 years.

The squat at the Toulouse house of Roland, 88, aroused great emotion and in particular made the ex-international rugby player Grégory Lamboley react.

The former third line of Stade Toulousain launched a fund on Monday evening on the Leetchi site to support the octogenarian, who wishes to sell his property in order to join his wife in nursing home.

An impossible transaction in the short term, since the squatters cannot be evicted before the end of the winter truce, postponed from March 31 to June 1.

For Roland, whose house has been squatted since September while he was waiting for one thing to be able to sell it to go and join his wife in an Ehpad. Https://t.co/mDYdWWlXKG

"Doing things like old people, that drives me crazy"

“These are really things that revolt me, it's mind-boggling, ton Grégory Lamboley, joined by

20 Minutes

.

It's not just Roland, there have been other cases recently, like on the Côte d'Azur.

That we can do things like old people who cannot defend themselves, it drives me crazy.

"

The 39-year-old ex-player, converted into sports marketing and real estate diagnostics, does not know the old man, to whom the sum raised will be donated at the end of March, at the end of the crowdfunding operation.

But he wishes to show his solidarity through his approach.

“The important thing is not the amount that will be recovered.

It is to show that it is supported.

If that can make you react a little, change something.

Because one day someone will take justice and there will be a tragedy.
