This sanction, which targets the facts of domestic violence, was proposed at the end of a disciplinary council, whose opinion is only advisory, which met Wednesday in Bordeaux. It will be transmitted in Paris to the disciplinary affairs office and must be confirmed, or not, by the director general of the national police (DGPN), Frédéric Veaux, who can also weigh it down or lighten it.

The police officer was sentenced in February to an 8-month suspended prison sentence for violence against his wife by the Bordeaux Criminal Court. At the same time, an administrative investigation had requested his referral to a disciplinary council. While awaiting his summons before the disciplinary body, the agent had been assigned to the collection of complaints, despite his conviction of which his hierarchy was "

perfectly aware

", according to the

Canard Enchaîné

, who had revealed the information.

The police officer had registered on March 15 the complaint of Chahinez Daoud, 31, who came to denounce a new assault on her husband, explaining that he had hit her and tried to strangle her.

A month and a half later, on May 4, the mother of three was shot and wounded by her recidivist husband, from whom she was separated, who then set her on fire in the street.

This tragedy sparked a wave of indignation and provoked a joint mission of the General Inspectorate of Administration and the General Inspectorate of Justice.
