Three sons of the Webster family appeared Thursday before the local court of Saint-Martin for acts of "obstructing the circulation of vehicles on a public road". They are specifically accused of having blocked the national road at Griselle from 24 to 27 January. The procedure had been opened after the filing of eighteen complaints against x.
At the helm, the three brothers insisted that the roadblocks were not their initiative but that of the Saint-Martin population to support their families. “Blocking the auction was our primary goal, not blocking traffic on the island,” says a brother. “The Webster family cannot be called tyrants, they claim their lands,” the defense attorney said. “The Webster brothers do not own the vehicles that were placed on public roads during these blockages. No document attests to this. My clients have absolutely not touched the gear,” hammered their lawyer.
For his part, the civil party admits that “this case is a complex file”. “We all have problems in life but none of them justify taking the whole population hostage, especially when it is not for the general interest but for the personal interest in this case,” said the lawyer for the victims. who filed a civil action and requested between 2 and 10 euros in damages.
The representative of the public prosecutor's office demanded that the three sons complete a citizenship course within six months, accompanied by a three-month prison sentence if the course is not carried out.
The judgment was reserved for November 10. (soualigapost.com)
