On the other hand, two correctional hearings were open. A file scheduled for three hours of pleadings was set before the Eco-Fin chamber, which specializes in economic and financial offences, but it was postponed by the new president of this chamber.
Ms. Bastiaans, who presided over this chamber last, left Mons for the Brussels Court of Appeal. It was Mr. Riban, a former examining magistrate, who was appointed to take over the presidency.
There is a problem…
In the courtroom opposite, Ms. Bury made her big comeback after several weeks of absence. His 11th Chamber hearing started off strong. For the first file, Cédric S., detained, was presented to the president. “There is a problem, it is not my client,” said Me Crombé.
Asked to give his date of birth, the defendant was indeed not the one who was summoned on Friday morning. After checking, the court realized that there were indeed two Cédric S., with the same surname, who were accountable to justice.
Suddenly, the trial of Cédric S. was postponed to a later date. As for the other, he was brought back to the prison under police escort.
Shoplifting
The litigants did not rush to answer for their actions in court. However, some risk going for a stay in the shade, like this man who is facing a year in prison for shoplifting… alcohol bottles!
“He has been convicted six times in the police and six times in corrections, including twice for similar facts, and has already obtained reprieves, suspensions of the pronouncement of the conviction”, protested the deputy public prosecutor.
The hearing was then suspended for long minutes, the time to wait for the people summoned at the end of the morning.
