British Conman Sentenced to Six Years in France After Attacking Officers

A notorious British fraudster received a sentence of six years in France for a violent incident against police while evading arrest.


Robert Hendy-Freegard, a 53-year-old conman previously jailed in the UK, was sentenced for ramming his car into two gendarmes in a rural village in central France. This incident occurred while he was attempting to evade questioning by the police, and the violence shocked local residents. Previously notorious for conning individuals out of £1 million by impersonating an MI5 agent, Hendy-Freegard had moved to France to breed dogs under a false identity. His actions, revealed in two Netflix documentaries, drew further scrutiny from neighbors, prompting them to take action. Although he defended his actions in court, witnesses and officials characterized him as a manipulative individual who posed a danger if released.



Robert Hendy-Freegard, known for his deceptive activities, has been sentenced to six years in France after violently running over two police officers in a bid to escape questioning. The notorious conman, previously sentenced in the UK, had relocated to France under a false name to breed beagles but came under suspicion from his community. His actions, highlighted in popular media, ultimately led to his arrest, and testimonies from neighbors painted him as a manipulative figure unworthy of trust.
