A 22-year-old man, Mohammed B., was sentenced by a Monaco criminal court following a pursuit on September 18. The defendant, a waiter from Roquebrune, was operating a scooter without insurance and under the influence of cannabis.

During the incident in Monte-Carlo, the individual drove against the flow of traffic and refused to comply with police orders. The pursuit resulted in the defendant abandoning his scooter, which struck a parked vehicle and caused a police officer to be knocked to the ground, resulting in three days of medical leave. 

The court issued a sentence of nine months in prison, with six months suspended under a probationary regime. This sentence includes a two-year obligation to undergo treatment, maintain employment, and compensate the victims.
