The latter, also accused of selling and possessing illicit substances, denied being a dealer. As a repeat offender following a first conviction in 2017 in Liège, the Wanzois obviously knew that his partner was selling drugs, but he, no, he was only consuming them. “Since then,” he explains, “I stopped all consumption because I went to treatment.” His lawyer submits proof of his recovery, a recent blood test. But why doesn’t he work, he who has a cooking diploma? “The morale is not there,” he explains. “I am in a temp agency and I don’t see anything coming. And as I don’t have a driving license, I still depend on my partner.”

She repeats that she fell into the clutches of a big drug dealer whom she still fears today. “There are also two files open once morest him, specifies the council of Wanzoise. And that does not prevent him from still coming to threaten the whole family regularly.”

The public prosecutor understood the distress of this family and requested a probation sentence for the couple, who will have to prove that there is no longer any drug use and who will have to find work to return to a normal life.

“I even want to work as a garbage collector,” said the mother, as if to already give the lie.

Judgment on February 8.
