The former head of the Parisian judicial police Bernard Petit was released on Tuesday by the Paris Criminal Court, in the case of suspicions of leaks at 36, quai des Orfèvres, former headquarters of the PJ.
Almost eight years after his dismissal in early 2015 in the wake of his indictment for violation of the secrecy of the instruction, the 67-year-old former police officer was cleared by the court, thus following the requisitions of the prosecution during the trial.
