Mohamed Meliani has been actively wanted in the Var since his escape from prison. The man is known for violence against his ex-girlfriend.
Wind of panic in the Var. “For the past few days”, Mohamed Meliani, a “dangerous” man, has been wanted throughout the department. This is a detainee who managed to escape from a detention center, as indicated by the national police of 83 in a call for witnesses, without giving further details on the date of his escape. The individual is the subject of “psychiatric monitoring” added the authorities, he who is well known to the justice system with his thirty entries in his criminal record, as related nice morning.
About thirty mentions in the criminal record
Aged 54, Mohamed Meliani was serving a prison sentence for violence against an ex-spouse and forcible confinement. On September 10, 2020, he had returned by force and had taken refuge for seven hours in the apartment of his ex-companion in Ollioules, west of Toulon. If she had not been injured, the victim had still been deeply shocked by this act (30 days of psychological ITT). The man had armed himself with a whirlwind, scissors and had barricaded the entrance to the accommodation. A trauma all the stronger as the act had occurred a month after a first conviction for domestic violence (already) and death threats, for which he had received a simple ban on approaching his former companion.
Mohamed Meliani had since been sleeping in prison, with a ban on appearing in the Var once his sentence had been served. His escape worries the authorities who believe he could be in Toulon, La Seyne or Ollioules. In September 2020, Bernard Marchal, then public prosecutor of Toulon, had declared to the press: “We really feared for the days of Madame.”
