A trade dispute?
Three men, spotted on the spot, fled in a vehicle with the lights off.
If they are not identified, the license plate is still readable and refers to a car that belongs to Jean Alesi's brother.
This morning, José, the brother of the former automobile champion, is therefore arrested by the police in Avignon and placed in police custody.
