Since a network of criminals usurped the identity of his company five years ago, a resident of Pyrénées-Atlantiques has been living a real nightmare.

His family has been threatened, he has been placed in police custody and the tax authorities are demanding 20 million euros from him, reports Sud-Ouest.

In 2017, a month after opening his garage, he started receiving dozens of tickets for vehicles that didn't belong to him.

He then filed a complaint, but in two years, more than 10,000 cars were bought in his name.

The traffickers are arrested but the ordeal continues

These vehicles would be involved in drug trafficking, kidnappings and accidents in France and abroad.

In 2019, traffickers are arrested and tried.

However, the administration still asks him to pay the thousands of fines received and the social security contributions of employees hired on his behalf.

The man tried everything to put an end to his ordeal.

In vain.

He then decided to publicize his story.

Thanks to his visit to Julien Courbet, on March 18, the defender of rights could be seized.
