After the threats of administrative sanctions announced by the Paris police headquarters, the participants in the farewell party of an officer from the Aubervilliers police station are under a judicial investigation for "endangering the lives of others and non-compliance with health measures and the curfew, ”said the Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis) prosecutor's office on Thursday.
The latter has just seized the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) to conduct an investigation into the circumstances which led to the organization of the festivities.
The departure pot of a lieutenant remained through the throat of the hierarchy which intends to make an example with this violation of the sanitary rules by police officers, officers moreover.
No masks, no social distancing
On January 22, a drink to celebrate the transfer of an officer was held in the precincts of the police station.
The festivities had not been to everyone's liking.
Because a video shot by one of the participants and sent to the Loopsider information site had unveiled the pot aux roses.
We can see many police officers with silhouettes and blurred faces, especially dancing the Macarena, and we can clearly see that none of them wears a mask or respects social distancing.
The party would have continued well beyond the curfew, until late at night.
The feasts were also held in violation of internal rules.
These stipulate that jars are now formally prohibited in times of health crisis, as recalled by the police headquarters.
For having violated these provisions, the participants in the celebrations expose themselves to sanctions, just like the commissioner of Aubervilliers who would have allowed the organization of this small party.
