The man was prosecuted for having brandished a loaded weapon on July 3, 2023 during a festive evening organized at Acte 3 in Braine-l’Alleud, having fired into the air and into the terrace before threatening participants in the help of this weapon.

The scene was filmed by surveillance cameras. The fight started that night with champagne bottles being thrown between two groups. The defendant then took out a weapon and fired into the air and onto the terrace. Then he straightened his arm horizontally to threaten partygoers from the other group. The shooter was disarmed and then, following the fight, his group put pressure on the security services to have the weapon returned. What was done.

Before the investigators, the accused did not deny being present at the evening, but assured that he did not recognize himself in the video surveillance images. In court, he claimed to have defended himself, to have received and given blows, but not to have used a weapon.

The judgment rendered Wednesday rejects these denials, relying instead on several testimonies which identified the defendant and the videos. The court highlighted, in setting the sentence, the particular seriousness of the facts, the very significant disturbance caused to public security, the lack of questioning and the criminal record of the defendant, who is a repeat offender.
