Insults began to fly even before the trial began.
During the hearing, which had to be evacuated, it was nonsense.
We don't really know how the story will end one day, but we are not very confident.
All we can be sure of is that in order to maintain decent mental health, it is better to avoid working in the company in question for nearly eight hours this Thursday afternoon at the Criminal Court of Créteil (Val- de-Marne).
An incredible trial at the end of which twelve months in prison, six of which were required against an AOC director Alyzia Orly, a subcontractor who takes care of airport passengers.
Youcef D is accused of moral harassment against a dozen employees.
The period runs from 2014 to 2019. And the defendant with "natural authority", as he defines himself, is still in place.
The evacuated courtroom
“But what exactly is your role in the company?
For the third time, the president returns to the charge.
It has been a few hours since the trial began but doubt remains about the profession of the accused.
Apparently he was hired as director of labor relations and now and he is said to be director of “human factor and management”.
Not the type to be taken apart, the man with the impeccable tan likes shock formulas.
“I manage over 6,000 people,” he snaps before placing himself in the back of the courtroom and showing the assembly as if they were its employees.
Basically, he's there to watch.
Very embarrassed, the president asks him to come back to the bar.
In the courtroom, there are only victims.
The rest of the public was evacuated when one of them complained of being threatened.
A complicated evacuation, moreover, since the police did not really know who was cited in the trial and who should leave the room.
"The three over there", denounces, wrongly, Youcef D, decidedly very comfortable.
"I almost committed suicide several times"
One after the other, the employees - because it is almost only women - parade at the bar.
They all tell more or less the same story.
The defendant stared at them and ruined their lives with humiliating words.
"One day, he told me
I came here to bring you misery
", testifies one of the employees.
"I almost committed suicide several times," continues an employee.
Another evokes thoughts on wearing certain clothes.
"There was a dress code," argued the defense.
Among the complainants, there is even the head of human resources.
“I had been told about the character,” she recalls.
He started asking me to fire people.
But I was not going to lay off employees when others, who were close to him, were doing nothing.
"
"He put me lower than the earth"
For her, the situation would have worsened from the moment, in 2014, the first two harassment complaints were closed.
“There it became harassment power 10. He was pointing his finger and saying
Sit!
Layer !
You don't talk to HR like that.
He put me lower than the earth.
I wanted to screw myself up.

"We are going to reframe the debate a bit", intervenes the defendant, anxious to help the court.
"All that is wrong," he summarizes.
On the contrary, he was hired "to restore a calm dialogue with the staff".
Because, he recalls, the management “could no longer communicate with the social partners.
"
Youcef D. felt the shoulders to “exchange” because he knows “the southern suburbs” well.
“I lived in Villejuif and L'Haÿ-les-Roses, rewinds the one who had trouble with the law when he was younger.
This is the Orly employment pool with people from my community.
"" I recruited him because he has the same city language as my employees, "confirmed a manager of general management.
Recently, the defendant would have received a promotion.
The deliberation is expected on December 10.
