Il était reproché à Benjamin Bories et Florent Allier, qui ont passé la nuit en garde à vue, de s’être présentés, début avril, devant le domicile de Jacques Gravegeal pour "réclamer des explications".

They emerged free from the Montpellier judicial court. One after the other. After being heard by a judge of freedoms and detention. Which decided to release them with light judicial control. By specifying in particular the ban on the two defendants going to the home of Jacques Gravegeal or even meeting him and his wife.

A trial on July 16

The two winegrowers came out looking a little drawn. Happy but bitter about a night spent in a cell when they did not "utter any threats", as they assured the judge. And repeated in front of a support committee of around fifty winegrowers who came to support them and applaud them on their release.

Throughout the morning, the group, under police surveillance, remained calm but determined not to let what they consider to be an affront go unnoticed: "Disproportionate practices  ;quot;, explains Me Gauer, Florent Allier’s lawyer.

The two winegrowers will appear in court on July 16.
