Two years in prison, including one year accompanied by a reinforced probationary sentence, with work and training obligation and 280 hours of community service.

This is the sentence imposed by the Marseille court on Tuesday on a 22-year-old young man for multiple urban rodeos, carried out between November 2021 and June 2022. “Investigations carried out on social networks also made it possible to establish his participation to videos promoting urban rodeos, ”notes the Marseille prosecutor’s office in a press release.

The young man had managed to escape the police in December 2021 who had tried to arrest him while he was standing on the L2, a highway crossing Marseille, standing on the saddle.

The latter had fled by taking an exit in the opposite direction.

Finally arrested on July 11, 2022, the young man was, until this hearing, placed in pre-trial detention.
