Overview
- Bonneville Criminal Court acquitted Nassim Mimun after judges found no evidence he intended to keep David Lammy’s bags.
- Mimun had faced a charge of fraudulently removing luggage and cash, with prosecutors asking for an eight‑month suspended term carrying potential prison and a large fine.
- The row stemmed from an April journey booked via GetTransfer from northern Italy to the French Alps, where prosecution papers say the driver sought roughly €600 extra late in the six‑hour trip.
- Mimun alleged Lammy used a slur and struck him, allegations the UK Foreign Office disputes as it maintains the fare was paid in full, and the state prosecutor rejected claims that Lammy was armed or aggressive.
- The court heard the luggage was returned within a day and that the couple’s claim of €700 missing was described as incoherent, while a separate complaint by Mimun accusing the pair of aggression had already been dismissed.
