In an hour-long indictment, prosecutor Marc-Antoine Moreau detailed "
the meticulous and long-term preparation
" of this theft, a large part of the proceeds of which has never been found and which is worth five people judged since Monday at the court of Bobigny.
"
Adrien Derbez's line of defense is to make people believe, like Toni Musulin, that he is a victim of the Loomis company, a victim of society period
", defended the prosecutor, in reference to the Lyon cash courier sentenced in 2010 for the theft of 11.6 million euros.
The case of Toni Musulin, an employee of the same company and who followed a similar procedure, was in this case "
an almost imposed figure, an almost totemic reference
" for Adrien Derbez, estimated the prosecutor.
For the main defendant, aged 30, he matched his requisition of fourteen years in prison with a two-thirds security period and a fine of 300,000 euros.
“The seal of organized crime”
On February 11, 2019, the cash courier, driving an armored van, lost company with his two colleagues while they were inside a Western Union branch in Aubervilliers to deposit funds there.
The vehicle is quickly discovered but no trace of the driver, nor of the 3.1 million euros contained in bags.
The run, however, turns out to be short-lived.
Guided by anonymous information, the police arrested him the next day in a hideout in Amiens, his hometown, with nearly a million euros in cash.
The material discovered by the investigators, the preparation spread over several months, “
it is not the mark of a windfall offender, it is the seal of organized crime
”, castigated Marc-Antoine Moreau.
