On November 10, the Charleroi police zone received information deemed interesting concerning a dwelling in Marchienne-au-Pont. Abnormal power consumption and presenting a risk of fire is found in the house, as well as a surveillance camera. Problem: no one is domiciled on the premises.
“I did not know”
To confirm the police suspicions, a search is carried out and allows the arrest of Ilirjan inside the house. But not only. “1,389 cannabis plants were also discovered“, specifies the substitute Fossion. From the outset, the one who was a farmer in his native Albania admits to having taken the gardener’s cap of the vast plantation. “Every 4-5 days a man came to bring me food“, confirms the defendant, since then behind bars.
He was tricked by an organization and didn’t know he was going to run a cannabis plantation when he was offered the job in Brussels.
No other suspect might be identified. For this role of gardener, the prosecution requires a sentence of 15 months in prison. Without of course opposing a reprieve. The same request is made by the defense, for that “which has been used by others and which today pays the price.“Judgment next Thursday.
