The Compiègne court sentenced Bruno H on Monday to eight months in prison for having once again traveled in a state of intoxication. On his


Bruno H. recognizes this.

He is sick and has a problem with alcohol.

Before the judges of the court of Compiègne (Oise), this Monday, he affirms it: “I am a danger on the road.

I have been drinking for 25 years.

And almost as much as he drives drunk.

His first conviction dates back to 1994. Of the eleven mentions in his criminal record, ten relate to driving in an alcoholic state.

He was again at the bar of the court to answer for the same facts, in recidivism.

Friday, at 4:45 p.m., in his car without a license, he was checked by the gendarmerie in Jaux.

“It was my mother's birthday, where I live in Rivecourt.

I wanted to buy her a bouquet of flowers, says the defendant.

But on the road, I met a friend and we went to his house to drink two well-packed Ricards.

I knew I should have waited before leaving…” Indeed, the breathalyzer displays 0.44 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled blood.

“He drinks, he no longer has a licence.

He buys a car without a license and starts over.

His illness also landed him in jail.

The man was released prematurely from detention in order to be cured of lung cancer.

But despite chemotherapy and treatment, he can't help drinking heavily.

"When I'm alone, it's fine.

It's when I'm with people…” His lawyer, Me Pierre-Edouard Szymanski deplores that “France has no other alternative than prison to be able to treat this man.

The addictologist did not take any blood samples from him!

My client just comes to point, it's not serious.

He must have proper care.

What displeases the public prosecutor, Marie-Céline Lawrysz, is above all her lack of discernment.

“He drinks, he no longer has a licence.

He buys a car without a license and starts over.

Tirelessly, until the day he has an accident.

It's a public hazard.

Drinking, hitting the road one hour after school, it's unconscious!

Bruno H was sentenced to eight months in prison.

His sentence may be flexible provided that he enters a hospital or a detoxification centre.
