The Versailles Court of Appeal upheld the conviction of a woman found guilty of poisoning a family in Levallois-Perret in 2024, but did not recognize the antisemitic nature of the act. This decision comes more than two years after the case and goes against the prosecution's recommendations.
The defendant had been sentenced in the first instance to three years in prison, much of it suspended, for introducing toxic substances into food and drinks intended for the parents of children in her care. The judges had emphasized the seriousness of the offenses and the breach of trust.
A persistent disagreement over the classification of the facts
Even in the initial trial, the aggravating circumstance of antisemitism was not upheld despite remarks attributed to the nanny. The Court of Appeal confirmed this analysis, finding that these elements did not legally characterize the acts as antisemitic.
The family's lawyers are contesting this decision and have announced an appeal to the Court of Cassation. They argue that the failure to recognize this circumstance weakens the effectiveness of legal mechanisms designed to punish antisemitic acts.
