Dylan wanted revenge on his boss who owed him money. According to the prosecution, he stole nearly 5,000 liters of diesel which he resold at half price, including around 1,000 liters to Alex, from Binche. Dylan claims he embezzled at most 2000 liters.
In times of economic crisis, Alex thought he was getting a good deal. He finds himself before the criminal court to answer for receiving stolen property, so he must have known that the fuel was stolen. Dylan, meanwhile, is warned of a domestic theft.
“I didn’t know that this fuel oil was stolen, you have to tell the court,” insists Alex, addressing Dylan. Alex confirms having bought cans from Dylan, who delivered it in a truck covered with the logo of his boss’s company. Many cans of fuel were filled to power several cars.
He goes to the table
Questioned by the police on November 21, 2022, Dylan denied everything. Then he confessed, justifying the theft because his boss owed him money. The public prosecutor requested a three-month prison sentence once morest the man who has seven police court convictions.

The deputy prosecutor requested a heavier sentence once morest Alex, four months in prison, reminding him that serving fuel oil with such little precaution should have aroused certain suspicions in him. “But Dylan delivered it with his usual fuel oil truck, this truck was geolocated several times on the street where my client lives. How might he know it was stolen fuel? There is a doubt,” replies Mr. Discepoli, who pleads for acquittal.
He was no longer paid
Me De Springer, Dylan’s lawyer, says that her client was in debt mediation. “He worked overtime without ever being paid. He appealed to the unions for his unpaid wages, but the matter is still in dispute. The investigator in charge of this case was so touched by her situation that he sent her a greeting card and dropped off chocolates for her daughter,” says the lawyer.
Dylan was fired by his boss following this affair, but he found a job. His lawyer pleaded for a favorable measure, the suspension of the sentencing, in order not to put his career as a truck driver in jeopardy.
Judgment in January.
