Hakim Karki, former investigating judge of the Mamoudzou court, was sentenced to 10 years of criminal imprisonment for the rape of Sabine (first name changed), almost 10 years ago on the island of Mayotte. That is, two years more than the sentence handed down at first instance in December 2022 by the Paris Assize Court.

After hearing the verdict and listening to the reading of the reasons, he stands, this Thursday evening, with his face in his hands.
