A 41-year-old man who brandished a hammer in front of a passer-by in Le Tréport on Thursday March 2, 2023, and then threatened three gendarmes with death by glorifying terrorism, was sentenced to two years in prison in Dieppe on Monday March 6, 2023. He was taken into custody for.
Violence, insult, rebellion, threats, racial insults, glorifying terrorism… The file of a 41-year-old man sentenced on Monday March 6 in direct appearance before the criminal court in Dieppe is extensive.
Abdelkader, who was born in Feuquières-en-Vimeu and lives in Abbeville (Somme), terrorised a passer-by at the base of the Le Tréport funicular at around 6pm on Thursday March 2. ” You swing a hammer above her head. They shout out ‘Allah Akbar’ several times,” the judge recalled. “He’s either crazy or has been drinking,” concludes the pedestrian and alerts the gendarmerie.
(…) To check whether the man’s condition is compatible with police custody, the gendarmes take him to a hospital. “At the Eu hospital centre, you make allusions to the attacks at the Stade de France, the Bataclan and Nice,” the judge continues. The man in his forties shouted to them, “You got a lot off. We will blow you up!” and promised to return with Al-Qaeda. He also threatened the families of the gendarmes. His blood alcohol level at that time was 0.65 mg/l breath (1.30 g per litre of blood).
(…) He tries to appease: “Even in prison, I never radicalised myself. It is not part of my purpose in life to kill someone with a knife. At the age of 41, I have never killed anyone.” His criminal record shows 25 convictions.
(…) But the judges double the sentences demanded: Abdlekader El Mechbouh is sentenced to two years in prison without parole. Paris-Normandie
