A trivial road check led to the dismantling of drug trafficking on March 9, 2020, in Dinant. A mother did not have the insurance document for her vehicle when she was checked. The police accompanied her to her home so that she could provide it to them. When she opened the door, it was impossible for them to miss the strong smell of cannabis. “The woman’s son, a minor, was there with other minors and an adult. They consumed. A search of his room revealed that he was selling cannabis. “, explains the Namur public prosecutor’s office.
The supplier was directly identified. A home visit was carried out. 169g of cannabis and two MDMA pills (synthetic drug) were found. He is said to have sold 1.8 kg of cannabis since December 1, 2019. The defendant has made a partial confession. “I bought and resold, yes. But the period and quantities are exaggerated“, he said. “Sometimes it goes faster than you think.”, replies the president. A work sentence of 250 hours is required against him. The defendant does not object.
On the dock, we also find the mother, prosecuted for having facilitated the use of narcotics in her home. “These young people came to my house. I knew they smoked but I didn’t know there were so many drugs.“, she explains. The Namur public prosecutor’s office requires acquittal because the moral element of the offense is not met. “She notified the police, the SAJ, and the SPJ because she was unable to set limits for her son.“
Finally, the last defendant is the adult consumer present during the police intervention. He is accused of possession of cannabis. The Namur public prosecutor’s office does not oppose a probationary suspension concerning him. His counsel, Me Leboutte, points out the hypocrisy of the system and requests a simple suspension. “The directive from the attorneys general provides that when a consumer has less than 3g of cannabis on him, a simplified report is drawn up and the pacson is left to the consumer. He didn’t even have a joint in his hand and had nothing in his pocket. And we come to ask you for conditions.”
Judgment on January 16.
