The ax fell.
This Wednesday, after a 48-hour police custody, two police officers were indicted.
They are suspected of having obtained benefits in exchange for services permitted by their functions.
These two chief sergeants, who were stationed in the Hauts-de-Seine, under the authority of the police headquarters, are "wet" in the sprawling file of corruption via the Inter Dépannage pounds.
These are led by the sulphurous Chafic Alywan who, since December 7, has been sleeping in prison.
He was remanded to Health (XIV).
The first police officer was indicted on charges of passive corruption by a person holding public authority, misappropriation of the purpose of a file, death threat, abuse of authority and violation of professional secrecy.
He was placed under judicial supervision with, in particular, a ban on practicing.
The second was indicted on charges of passive corruption by a person holding public authority, misappropriation of the purpose of a file, illegal taking of interests and violation of professional secrecy.
He was also placed under judicial supervision, and also received a ban from practicing.
Already two indictments
In this judicial investigation opened at the end of October after a preliminary investigation, entrusted by the Paris prosecutor's office to the IGPN, the police, two other people have already been indicted on December 8.
Chafic Alywan, therefore, as well as a civil servant from the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture, now retired.
In charge until 2017 of pound approvals, this sexagenarian was indicted for "passive corruption" and "concealment of property resulting from an abuse of social good".
Chafic Alywan, is prosecuted in particular for active corruption, complicity in breach of professional secrecy, complicity in misappropriation of the purpose of processing personal data, abuse of corporate assets or even the execution of concealed work.
He was remanded in custody.
In this vast case of corruption, other police officers including police commissioners are in the crosshairs of the IGPN.
If Chafic Alywan directly took the path of Health, it is because the investigators feared that the "king of the pounds" would disappear in Beirut, being of Lebanese nationality.
