Histoire complète :
A 65-year-old man was brought before the Monaco tribunal for an incident of violence against his colleague on a construction site, resulting in a 25-day temporary work disability. The incident occurred on April 19, 2024, during a workday at the parking lot construction site in Monaco. The men were removing paint stains from the floor when the situation escalated. The accused forcefully pushed his colleague, causing him to fall and fracture his arm. Initially, the victim claimed to have fallen on his own, but a witness confirmed that he was pushed. The accused was found responsible through analysis of surveillance footage. The victim underwent surgery and a five-day hospital stay. Due to ongoing recovery, the victim couldn’t attend the trial. The accused had previous convictions for violence in Nice but had no prior record in Monaco. The prosecution highlighted the seriousness of the consequences and requested a 15-day suspended prison sentence. The defense argued that it was a game gone wrong and the accused had no intention to harm his colleague. The accused expressed regret during his statement. After deliberation, the tribunal found the accused guilty and sentenced him to 15 days of suspended prison time. The victim, as a civil party, received an expert assessment and a compensation of €1,500.
