Paolo Falzone will be placed under an electronic bracelet. A request which until now had been refused to the driver responsible for the death of 6 people during the carnival of Strépy-Bracquegnies. A decision taken by the investigating judge in charge of the case. Even if it is completely legal, it is a blow for the families of the victims.
Marianna and Mattia have lost three family members. This week was their dad’s birthday, who died in the tragedy. Today’s decision is another ordeal. “We won’t meet him in the street, but that’s not the problem. The problem is injustice. We will no longer have our loved ones, while he will be able to share good times with them”regrets Marianna.
The time has come for the judge, but not for these children whose mourning is so far impossible, tormented by a decision without appeal. “It’s a gift we give him. Does someone who kills 6 people and drives at 170 km / h in a street at 50 deserve a gift? That’s the question we can ask ourselves “, dit Mattia. “We have already lost, but there are decisions that amplify our pain, our anger, our incomprehension. The decision that was made today is one of them.”
“Since March 20, 2022, we have suffered the decisions, the drama, the loss of our loved ones, the decisions of justice, because we have no influence as victims”adds Marianna.
Paolo Falzone will no longer have to appear in court for his continued detention. The order disappoints the civil parties a few days following a contrary decision. “They were afraid to wait for this decision, but they were reassured by the Court of Appeal, which systematically decided that at this stage there was no need to talk regarding an electronic bracelet. They are morally exhausted and above all they can’t understand”indicate David Gelay, l’avocat de Marianna et Mattia.
On the defense side, Frank Discepoli, the driver’s lawyer also speaks: “The decision seems perfectly logical to me. This is what had already been decided twice but reformed by the Court of Appeal. There was obviously no risk of recidivism in the event that Mr. Falzone is detained in a house.”
Even if it’s not a form of liberation, Marianna and Mattia feel like they’re jumping back 16 months.
