• Will Tony Vairelles still have to go to prison?

    The hypothesis is plausible because the public prosecutor of Nancy requested three years in prison against the former player.

  • He also requested three years firm against Fabrice Vairelles and 6 months firm for the two other brothers, Giovan and Jimmy.

  • The four brothers are suspected of having opened fire and injured three security guards at the Les Quatre-As nightclub in Essey-lès-Nancy in 2011.

Will Tony Vairelles return to prison?

We will have to wait until May 16 to find out.

The judgment of his trial, which had been held since Monday, was reserved.

The Nancy prosecutor's office in any case required Thursday three years in prison against the former attacker, tried with three of his brothers for violence with a weapon committed ten years earlier at the exit of a nightclub .

The public prosecutor, François Pérain, also requested three years firm against Fabrice Vairelles and 6 months firm for the two other brothers, Giovan and Jimmy.

The four brothers are suspected of having opened fire and injured three security guards at the Les Quatre-As nightclub in Essey-lès-Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle) on the night of October 22 to 23, 2011.

"Doubt should benefit everyone",

"The one and only good justice is to release [them], since we are unable to prove with certainty whether it was one of them who fired, and if so, which one," said Mr. Frédéric Berna, one of their lawyers.

"There is great confusion about what could have happened, the doubt must benefit everyone", he insisted, specifying that he himself and the other councils of Vairelles had pleaded the nullity of the procedure, arguing the slowness of the investigation which has seen four successive investigating judges in ten years.

The three security guards are prosecuted for violence in meetings with weapons, in this case “a tear gas canister, security barriers and a truncheon”.

The prosecution requested a four-month suspended sentence for one of them and the release for the other two, recognizing self-defense.

Tony Vairelles, from the gypsy community, was selected eight times for the France team, from 1998 to 2000 (1 goal).

A colorful striker with the famous "mule cut", he notably wore the colors of Lens, Lyon, Bordeaux, Bastia and Gueugnon.
