Summary.

April 2005. Youssef Zouini, 20, is arrested at his home in Nantes.

In police custody and then in the office of the investigating judge, he was told that material evidence and testimonies prove that he had participated in a robbery six months earlier.

This is the beginning of the nightmare for Youssef.

He was indicted, and even if the investigators ended up exonerating him, the young man was sentenced in 2007 to ten years' imprisonment by the Loire-Atlantique Assize Court.

In this episode of Source Code, Youssef recounts the legal battle he had to fight to be cleared, and how this miscarriage of justice led him, these days, to play one of the main characters in the next film of the director… Olivier Marchal.

Interview by Ambre Rosala.
