It’s the same verdict only in the first instance. Bruno Garcia-Cruciani, 46, was sentenced on Friday evening by the Assize Court of Appeal of Corse-du-Sud to life imprisonment for the feminicide of his ex-partner and mother of his children, Julie Douib , in 2019 in Ile-Rousse. It’s worth it requested by the Advocate General.
“The Court sentences you by a majority of at least eight votes to life imprisonment with a 22-year security sentence,” the president told Bruno Garcia-Cruciani.
The Assize Court also ordered “the total withdrawal of parental authority” from Bruno Garcia-Cruciani over his two sons aged 12 and 14. He “continues to question all the judicial decisions concerning his two children” and “favors his interest to that of his children”, whom he had had with Julie Douib, explained the president of the court of appeal.
“Execution pure and simple”
The court found the defendant guilty of murder and dismissed the impaired judgment pleaded by the defense. When the verdict was announced, Bruno Garcia-Cruciani remained imperturbable in the box. The Douib family let their relief show.
This condemnation corresponds to the requisitions of Catherine Levy, the general counsel. “It’s a pure and simple execution”, had hammered the magistrate, recalling that he “hunted” the 34-year-old young woman before shooting her on March 3, 2019 in Ile Rousse, in Corsica. “The mere fact of showing up at someone’s door with a loaded gun constitutes premeditation,” she also insisted.
