The criminal court of Saint-Martin released Thursday its February 28 deliberation in the case for which the main defendant, P.AV, a garage owner of Concordia was prosecuted for concealment, breach of trust and swindle. The examination of this file required eight hours of hearing on January 24.
P.AV appeared for insurance fraud with the complicity of an insurance expert, MJY.P, summoned the same day. The garage owner and car rental company was accused of having declared seven fraudulent claims between May 2013 and December 2015 on vehicles in his fleet. A scam that brought him 65 euros for repairs to be carried out in his garage.
P.AV was also prosecuted for several concealment offenses. P.AV was also accused of breaches of trust. He had several times rented and sold as if it were his own, the vehicles that an individual, then a bailiff had entrusted to him as security. Finally, one of his former employees criticized P.AV for having orchestrated a scam when purchasing a vehicle bought with a bad check.
The court declared all the defendants guilty of all the acts with which they were accused:

He was also sentenced to a fine of 10 euros and the court ordered the confiscation of the seals. The court therefore followed the prosecution's requisitions but doubled the amount of the required fine.
- MJY.P, the insurance expert, was sentenced to two months suspended prison sentence and a 1000 euros fine.
- the court also followed the requisitions of the public prosecutor's office against SC the buyer of the vehicle of the ex-employee of P.AV who had provided the bad check and sentenced him to three months in prison.
