I imagine he will do the same job

Because obviously the question of the prosecution of police or gendarmes is criminal and (requires) community work between the Interior and Justice

"Very many malfunctions"
Aurélie Langevin, 33, mother of a 14-year-old girl, was found dead, covered with bruises, at the Douais home of her partner Karim, convicted on numerous occasions, notably for theft, threats and violence.

obviously satisfied with this response from the minister
", welcomed their lawyer, Me Damien Legrand, referring
to "very many dysfunctions
" in this file.

", he said. told AFP.
He did not rule out that "
on reading the conclusions of the IGPN
", the family could "
file a complaint for non-assistance in person in danger
".
