The hearing on Monday did not take place as the parties had agreed on a prior agreement. The defendant admitted the facts for which he has been detained since last year and the judge accordingly handed down his judgment. The prosecution had requested a 3-year prison sentence against the Moroccan. But with the agreement, it was reduced to two years. In the event of expulsion to Morocco, given the situation of border closures, the convicted person’s sentence will be suspended for a period of two years during which he will not be able to commit any punishable acts.
