On November 2, 2022, a Guinean woman living in the Charleroi region presented herself at the Cuesmes driving license center to take the theoretical license. This lady had her license, but she had come to pass it for a compatriot, who does not have it.

Conversations

Questioned by the police, this woman quickly confessed. The police analyzed her cell phone and found that she was exchanging messages on WhatsApp with another member of the Guinean-Cameroonian community. The latter, a computer specialist, made appointments at the driving center and photocopied identity cards. According to this lady, he was the mastermind of the story.

The public prosecutor requested a work sentence of 80 hours once morest the woman who confessed. He asked for six months in prison once morest the computer scientist and his compatriot who is trying to obtain her driving license.

Several failures

The latter’s lawyer pleads for acquittal. The day following the incident, she reported to the police that her identity card was missing. This mother of eight children denies having taken the initiative in this affair. The lawyer says the other lady wanted to do him a favor because she had failed several times.

The computer scientist, for his part, claims that his role was to play taxi for his compatriots. On the day of the events, the Brussels resident went to Charleroi to drive the lady to do her shopping. During the followingnoon, she asked him to take her to Cuesmes. He was unaware of his plans, he said. There too, acquittal is pleaded.

Me Discepoli, the lawyer of the lady confessing, pleads a favorable measure. “It’s surprising to pass the license for someone who didn’t ask you anything,” he said, believing that his client had told the truth.

Judgment in January.
