Three shooting scenes in Saint-Christophe, August 14 then September 2, 2017. Three gunshot wounds.
Accused of three assassination attempts in 2017 in Cergy-Saint-Christophe, the twins Mohamed and Djbril T. disputed this Thursday afternoon any implication in the facts.
Questioned by the Assize Court of Val-d'Oise, the two accused of 24 years gave a hitherto unprecedented explanation: that of a conflict between traffickers, a young of their gang having stolen, they assure, 60 kg of cannabis resin to Basil *, described by the twins as a "wholesaler", before shooting him, then opening fire again two weeks later.
"Whoever did that is walking outside ..."
“In our gang, there is one who wanted to recover narcotics.
He went to see him.
It is a wholesaler from Cergy who was thinking of a usual transaction.
Mohamed T. describes a fight that escalates.
“He put a bullet to her.
The victim was then seriously injured in one arm.
Exit, according to the accused, the dispute over a passport or resulting from a confusion on the intercom.
“He knows very well what happened.
But he can't go back to say things anymore.
I am telling the truth.
"
However, no question of delivering the name of the shooter to the Assize Court.
"Whoever did that is walking outside… I can't give the name."
If I swing… In the gang, I can't control everyone.
He also specifies that it is the same man who would have fired each time.
"He did not want to understand anything ..." In any case, Mohamed T. assures us that it is not him.
“I was in Cergy, but I was not in the neighborhood.
Take a gun and shoot someone, I can't do that.
I am not a killer!
My brother, he was out after the fact.
I could tell him to finish the job!
"
"It's a plot against us"
On Wednesday, one of the victims came to the stand to name the two brothers, which she had not done throughout the investigation.
“It's a plot against us.
It can be seen that it is mounted, ”says Mohamed T., who also admits to trafficking cannabis and who also suspects Basile of being a police informer.
“They're all dealing with the cops.
"
It is his arrest on September 8, 2017 in possession of a bag containing handguns having shot at the various crime scenes that will truly launch the investigation.
After having claimed to have picked up this bag during a chase with the police, he explained this Thursday before the Assize Court, having taken it shortly before at the request of the shooter, against money.
"You know he shot according to you but you keep hanging out with him and accept the satchel?"
»Asks the president, Marc Trévidic.
“I got tricked by the greed.
I was naive.
"
"Are you risking life imprisonment and sacrificing yourself for someone?"
"
The civil party lawyer insists: "You know who shot and you cover him!"
Are you risking life imprisonment and sacrificing yourself for someone?
"Mohamed T. replies:" If I give a name, I will be shot.
"The lawyer asks him where he was at the time of the facts, without obtaining an answer" When one risks life imprisonment, one tries to remember it.
In the space of three years you have not found?
"
The 60 kg coring version did not appear particularly credible in the eyes of the Advocate General.
"The victim comes to deliver 60 kg alone, in a dead end, without a weapon?
You understand that we have a hard time believing you, ”continues Luc Pellerin, who adds that he has never seen this during his career, a fortiori for 120,000 to 180,000 € of cannabis.
“The 60 kg core is the truth.
In the room, here, everyone knows that the case is linked to drug trafficking, ”continued Djibril T., questioned after his twin brother on the facts.
"It remains to be seen who cored who", wondered the president, Marc Trévidic, who evokes the presence of three Bretons who came in September from Rennes who could be linked to the affair, perhaps because they are the ones who would have been stolen, hence the logic of the shots.
"They are related," admits Djibril, who will not say more.
"If I give names, my detention will become hell, I will find myself on my own.
