En Espagne, le braquage de banque est d\u00e9sormais class\u00e9, selon l’expression anglaise, dans la rubrique occupationnal hazard<\/em>, ce qui serait notre rubrique accident de travail? Le terme utilis\u00e9 dans The Independent<\/em>, ce 22 juillet 2009<\/a>, est ainsi d\u00e9fini<\/a>: \u00abA working condition that can lead to illness or death. Often, people in jobs which pose a high level of risk are paid more than similar but less risky jobs to compensate for the danger involved.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCette \u00e9tonnante classification du braquage de banque renvoie \u00e0 l’\u00e9tonnante situation, mais est-ce si \u00e9tonnant? d’une recrudescence exceptionnelle des braquages de banques en Espagne, directement li\u00e9e \u00e0 la crise. Ecoutez donc Jos\u00e8 Manuel Murcia, qui dirige le service de la sant\u00e9 et de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 du secteur financier de la f\u00e9d\u00e9ration des syndicats espagnols: \u00abThere’s unemployment, there’s hunger and there’s money in the banks, and the three factors combine. Banks are denying credit, so companies are having problems… People can’t pay their mortgages. So it’s… logical to rob a bank.<\/em>\u00bb Peut-on mieux dire en v\u00e9rit\u00e9? Et cette logique-l\u00e0 n’a-t-elle pas un sens \u00e9thique \u00e9vident ?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abWith Spain’s economy in freefall and loans squeezed, desperadoes are resorting to robbing banks to solve their personal credit crunch. Bank robberies have risen by 20 per cent in two years, Spain’s banking association says; and those who adopt the tactic of the stick-up to pay their debts are novices rather than hardened criminals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIn recent months, it has become apparent that Spain is suffering from an increase in bank robberies, Francisco Perez Abellan, the head of criminology at Camilo Jose Cela University in Madrid, told The New York Times. We are seeing people committing offences through necessity, first-time offenders who can no longer continue to maintain their lifestyle and so turn to crime, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbInstances where counter clerks are tied up at gunpoint while masked raiders empty the safe have become so common that Spain’s government, prodded by the bank employees’ trade union, has classified bank robbery as an occupational hazard.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tPeut-on imaginer situation plus morale? Une situation, en v\u00e9rit\u00e9, o\u00f9 m\u00eame les plus ardents d\u00e9fenseurs du principe de la loi vont \u00eatre oblig\u00e9s de baisser les bras et de consid\u00e9rer que cette action \u00e9videmment class\u00e9e hors-la-loi est devenue, aujourd’hui, quasiment une vertu civique. Ce n’est m\u00eame pas du non-droit, c’est du droit renvers\u00e9, lorsque l’attaque de la banque devrait faire jurisprudence pour \u00e9tablir une nouvelle conception de la loi.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
