Criminal gang of the "Petit Bar": Jacques Santoni released for medical reasons

2021-09-10T12:58:32.122Z


The investigating chamber of the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal considered that his state of health was incompatible with detention.


Indicted in January by an investigating judge of the JIRS in Marseille and imprisoned, in particular for extortion in an organized gang, aggravated money laundering and criminal association in a vast financial investigation, Jacques Santoni was released.

Disabled since a motorcycle accident in 2003, Jacques Santoni is the presumed leader of the Corsican criminal gang of “Petit Bar”.

But, the investigating chamber of the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal has just ordered “without delay his release without any other consideration, on the basis of his state of health which is incompatible with the detention ”, welcomed his lawyer, Pascal Garbarini.

And to recall that "17 judicial experts have spoken on the case of Jacques Santoni and have all said, individually or in college, that the state of health is incompatible with detention.

".

Judicial review

However, Jacques Santoni will be subject to judicial review prohibiting him from going to Corsica and coming into contact with his co-indicted, according to his lawyer.

"I am pleased that the court has taken into account the reasoned situation of Jacques Santoni and has done law by leaving aside other considerations that have nothing to do in legal proceedings," added his lawyer.

During a previous release hearing which had been refused at the beginning of July, Mr. Garbarini had submitted a medical certificate from a doctor from the National Public Health Establishment of Fresnes, where he was imprisoned, who considered his situation “durably and definitively incompatible with detention.

"

Still, the Advocate General had requested for his part continued detention "given his personality" and had requested a new medical expertise. “Fresnes remains able to take charge of Jacques Santoni. He is imprisoned in a health establishment where he is provided with all the necessary care of physiotherapy, occupational therapy even if he has not always accepted them, ”argued Advocate General Pierre Arpaïa by requesting his continued detention.
