Africa-Press – Togo. <\/strong> <\/span>Au Togo, des peines de 3 a\u0300 50 ans ont e\u0301te\u0301 requises mercredi 25 fe\u0301vrier par le procureur ge\u0301ne\u0301ral de la cour d\u2019appel militaire contre sept personnes inculpe\u0301es dans l\u2019affaire de la mort du colonel Bitala Madjoulba. Ce haut grade\u0301, qui dirigeait le premier bataillon d\u2019intervention rapide, a e\u0301te\u0301 tue\u0301 par balle dans son bureau du camp militaire de Lome\u0301, quelques heures apre\u0300s la ce\u0301re\u0301monie d\u2019investiture de Faure Gnassingbe\u0301, en mai 2020. L\u2019E\u0301tat togolais a fait appel apre\u0300s un premier verdict juge\u0301 trop cle\u0301ment, alors que les avocats de la de\u0301fense de\u0301nonc\u0327aient quant a\u0300 eux \u00ab des vices de proce\u0301dure \u00bb et un \u00ab manque de preuves \u00bb lors du premier proce\u0300s.<\/p>\n

En premie\u0300re instance, deux des accuse\u0301s ont e\u0301te\u0301 relaxe\u0301s et cinq autres ont e\u0301cope\u0301 des peines allant de 5 a\u0300 20 ans d\u2019emprisonnement pour assassinat, complicite\u0301 d\u2019assassinat, entrave au bon fonctionnement de la justice et atteinte a\u0300 la se\u0301curite\u0301 inte\u0301rieure de l\u2019E\u0301tat. Sur le banc des accuse\u0301s figuraient Felix Abalo Kadagah \u2013 chef d\u2019e\u0301tat-major au moment des faits \u2013 ainsi que quatre autres officiers, ainsi que le chauffeur du colonel Bitala Madjoulba et la secre\u0301taire de permanence cette nuit-la\u0300.<\/p>\n

De\u0301couvre cette offre exceptionnelle de deux chambres, un salon meuble\u0301 et climatise\u0301 avec cuisine, WC douche interne inclus situe\u0301 a\u0300 Adigogome\u0301 Yokoe\u0300 Carrefour Kope\u0301gan non loin de la frontie\u0300re TOGO-GHANA<\/p>\n

Mais selon le parquet, les peines dont ils ont e\u0301cope\u0301 en premie\u0300re instance ne sont pas a\u0300 la hauteur de la gravite\u0301 des faits. Le procureur a de\u0301crit devant la cour un complot minutieusement ourdi par des personnes ayant \u00ab une volonte\u0301 de tuer \u00bb, \u00ab ils ont fait appel pour narguer la justice \u00bb, a-t-il martele\u0301. Estimant que les pre\u0301venus sont \u00ab tous coupables \u00bb, le ministe\u0300re public a requis contre eux des peines allant de 3 a\u0300 50 ans d\u2019emprisonnement.<\/p>\n

Lors de son re\u0301quisitoire, le procureur ge\u0301ne\u0301ral a demande\u0301 la peine la plus lourde pour le ge\u0301ne\u0301ral Fe\u0301lix Abalo Kadangha, le colonel Ali Kodjo et le chauffeur. Ceux-ci n\u2019ont pas change\u0301 de position lors de leurs auditions devant la cour d\u2019appel militaire ces derniers jours. Toutes les personnes interroge\u0301es dans la garnison militaire de corps d\u2019e\u0301lite affirment qu\u2019elles n\u2019ont entendu aucun coup de feu dans la nuit du drame. Cela a\u0300 l\u2019exception d\u2019une soldate en faction, mais qui dit avoir cru a\u0300 l\u2019e\u0301clatement d\u2019un pneu.<\/p>\n

Les plaidoiries se poursuivront de\u0300s jeudi 26 fe\u0301vrier au matin<\/p>\n
