Attacking the police, Jamel Boussetta has already tried it.
In 2007, while he was assigned to the CRS in Deuil-la-Barre (Val-d'Oise), the man signed “Jamel le CRS.
Révélations sur la police de Sarkozy”, in which he denounced the politics of figures and the excesses of some of his colleagues.
Fifteen years later, the man unrolls more or less the same speech.
Not in a new fire but from the defendants' box at the Nanterre Criminal Court (Hauts-de-Seine) where the ephemeral writer - who today suffers from bipolar disorder and epilepsy - was to be tried in immediate appearance, this Tuesday, for insults and violence committed against a police officer and a health professional.
The police institution, from which he was revoked when his book was released for non-respect of the right of reserve, Jamel Boussetta rubbed shoulders with it on Sunday evening, after a hectic visit to the emergency room of the Franco-British hospital in Levallois - Perret.
A service where the 40-year-old former CRS, who now lives on a disabled adult allowance, showed up, around 10 p.m., determined to obtain a medical certificate for beatings he claimed to have received during a dispute that arose earlier, at the local pound.
“He was examined by a doctor but he did not observe anything, confides a person close to the file.
In any case, nothing serious enough to justify any medical certificate.
Annoyed and very upset, Jamel Boussetta, hospitalized in psychiatry a month and a half ago, would then have demanded a taxi voucher to return to his home in Courbevoie.
Support that the hospital also refused him.
It is this double refusal that the former police officer – former childhood friend of the leader of the barbarian gang, Youssouf Fofana – clearly did not digest.
He says he intends to file a complaint and seize the IGPN
Out of him, he then allegedly slapped a caregiver before hitting the back of his head with his mobile phone and throwing himself on the ground, feigning discomfort.
A discomfort that the man will simulate again, a few minutes later, during his police custody in the premises of the Levallois police station where, according to our information, the person concerned had the greatest difficulty in regaining his calm.
According to a police source, he would have notably refused to submit to the operations of identification records and would have bluntly rejected the official responsible for carrying out this fingerprinting.
A version that Jamel the ex-CRS denies en bloc, claiming to have been the victim of blows from his ex-colleagues.

For the violence he claims to have suffered, Jamel Boussetta says he intends to file a complaint and seize the IGPN.
A threat that the latter has already implemented in the past.
In 2007, a few days before the publication of his book in bookstores, he claimed to have been beaten up in police custody, where he had failed after intervening between young girls and a team of police officers from Bagneux.
At the time, officials firmly refuted these accusations and explained that Jamel Boussetta, in "a crisis of dementia", had put his head in the walls himself.
For this new file, a psychiatric expertise, which all parties consider necessary, has been ordered.
The matter was therefore adjourned to a later date.
In the meantime, the ex-CRS, already sentenced for slanderous denunciation, violence, contempt, theft and fraud, has been placed under judicial supervision.
