The one that

Var-Matin

calls Malik (first name changed) had spent the beginning of the evening of Sunday June 26 in the center of Toulon, on the beaches of Mourillon.

She then took her vehicle to go to a nightclub in Solliès-Pont, about ten kilometers away.

On the spot, the bouncers of the establishment would have had an altercation with her.

The versions of each differ: the bouncers evoked racist insults, and one of them conceded to have given “

a small trumpet

” to this client, according to him obviously drunk.

For his part, Malik denounces transphobic aggression and violence.

The bouncers allegedly said that "

we don't let people in like (her)

“, without it being known whether this referred to his drunkenness or his identity.

We laugh, we throw stones at her… She called the gendarmerie to denounce a transphobic attack but again, we made a remark to her which denies her in her existence

”, described her lawyer Me Jérémy Nanaï.

Malik would have returned to Toulon before returning to the establishment at night, in the early morning.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows his Fiat 500 being deliberately driven towards the two bouncers in the nightclub parking lot.

The victims were notably injured in the neck, and transported to the Sainte-Musse hospital.

As for the aggressor, after returning to her vacation home, she herself had to be hospitalized due to illness... finding herself in the same establishment as her victims.

Figaro

, some of the insults "

emerge from the videos taken by the defendant himself using his mobile phone, without any homophobic remarks on the part of the security guards of the establishment

”.

According to

Var-Matin

, the prosecutor considered that the posture adopted by the defence, which evokes the transphobic act, did not stand up: "

We use the question of sexual identity as a sort of totem of immunity which justifies all the violent words and behavior.

Madam, the problem is not your sexual identity.

The problem is your feeling of impunity

“, launched the prosecutor.

The defendant admitted to having consumed alcohol and narcotics, and acknowledged the facts: "

I understand that it is because of me that I am here, what I did is very serious

" she said to herself .

excused.
