At the wheel of his Nissan Qashqai, he is facing the headlights of a car that straight on him. He tries in vain to avoid the shock by deporting to his left where there is a Mercedes van. The collision is violent.
The driver of the car in the wrong way, a 55 -year -old stable boy, Ioan Naftailais stuck behind its steering wheel. The firefighters will have to extricate him. He does not suffer from any injury.

“I lost consciousness”
The author of the accident is presented at the Beauvais court, in immediate appearance this Monday, February 17. He does not speak French. He is a Romanian national who has worked in France for fifteen years in a stud farm. “”I don’t know what happenedtranslates the interpreter, I lost consciousness. A friend called me from the airport, he was cold and asked me to get him. I was dazzled by headlights and instead of taking the ramp on the right, I went straight.»»
Yet he says he knows the road. Although he does not think he had drunk too much, blood test shows that he had 1.23 grams of alcohol in the blood. The prevention of driving in alcoholic state will ultimately not be retained for purely legal reasons which have been the subject of conclusions of nullities raised by the defense lawyer, Arnaud Ledru. He admits having drunk two beers cut off from almost all of a vodka flash. He signals that he remained two fingers left and affirms that he has no idea of the limit imposed by French law. He only drinks when he touches his pay: “It is not usual».
Alcoholized, it has also been without a license for nine years
He could not present his license for the simple reason that he was robbed. “”I had to iron ithe said, But I did not have time, I only have three weeks off and in Romania it takes at least three months to iron it.“So that for nine years, he has been running without a license without being able to iron it because he works all the time:”with animals (he takes care of the 25 horsepower litter, editor’s note), We work every day». He is housed with his employer, far from everything. Also, not to depend on his colleagues, he bought a Volkswagen Polo in August 2024. “”I only use it once a week to go shopping at the supermarket“, He tries to explain to justify not having assured him. “”Butobjects the president, Since you recognize your responsibility, who will pay the damage?The accused is collapsed, he stamped: “I don’t know what to say».
His criminal record already includes a mention for driving without a license, without insurance and under alcohol which dates from 2021. He explains that he was telephone on a dirt road, an engine stopped about fifty meters from the stud farm. Despite this, he maintains that he has no problem with alcohol, that it only happens once a month. “”For me, the car is over. I will never lead my life againHe promises.
His boss came to support him
His boss came to support him. She describes the “difficult work and taking his employee who takes care of 25 horsepower in boxes». She confirms that he only takes his car to do his shopping. She describes it: “He is a very devoted man who works a lot and of whom I am very satisfied. He does not drink at work». She hopes for her return, especially as she no longer finds French staff to do this job.
The deputy prosecutor requires a twelve month prison sentence including six months in prison, with keeping in detention and six months under probationary suspension with obligation to work for care and compensate victims.
The defense lawyer agrees with the deputy prosecutor except in maintaining detention. He recalls that the condemnation of 2021 was not meant to him, that he is therefore still entitled to call it. “”Without doing predictive justice, the facts are unpleasantAcknowledges the lawyer who asks that his customer will not be kept in detention.
6 months in convertible prison
The court rejected the first five means of nullity mentioned by Arnaud Ledru. Only that relating to the lack of notification of the possibility of a counter-expertise in the results of the blood test was selected. The state of drunkenness has been dismissed. Ioan Naftaila was found guilty of the rest. He was sentenced to six months in prison. The court leaves the penalties to the implementation of the arrangement.
