What happened?
As mentioned earlier, HuGo Colasse, better known as HuGo Pro, is a content creator who focuses on motorized vehicles. In his videos, the YouTuber presents models, conducts road tests, participates in competitions, and sometimes invites guests who engage in wheelies and stunt riding. This is what led to serious legal troubles for him. In a YouTube video, HuGo Pro recounts how, on the morning of April 24th, while he was sleeping at home, the National Gendarmerie conducted a raid. Stunned by the scene, as he didn’t understand what was happening, the YouTuber found himself accused of serious charges, and the authorities seized all his valuable possessions. They took his motorcycles, his truck, his computers, his filming equipment, and even froze all his bank accounts, leaving him with only 900 euros to live on. Essentially, everything he had built over 7 years of hard work vanished in a matter of seconds. Afterward, he was taken into custody, where he was told he was facing multiple charges, including incitement to perform stunts on public roads, dangerous driving, and driving with an improper license, among others. During his questioning, the authorities subjected him to an extensive interrogation and conducted a thorough investigation into his life, work, and activities. He was eventually released, but the case is still under investigation.
Wave of Support and Leetchi
Fundraising Campaign Following this incident, the YouTuber received an enormous wave of support on social media, where fans expressed their outrage at the charges against him, arguing that he was merely filming what people enjoy doing without actively encouraging it. Alongside the messages of support and encouragement, others decided to provide financial support, including the well-known YouTuber Akram, the loyal friend of GMK. In addition, at the insistence of his loved ones, a Leetchi fundraising campaign was launched by his mother. The campaign has already raised over 9,000 euros.
Is This the End of HuGo Pro?
Far from it. This incident, along with the support he received, has given HuGo Pro new energy, and he has decided to shift into a higher gear. The YouTuber, far from admitting defeat, plans to intensify his content production (while being careful, of course). In fact, applications to participate in his videos have reopened. Additionally, he invites those with private spaces to contact him via email to organize filming sessions.
