The former police officer of the Bac Nord de Marseille, Sébastien Soulé, has not forgotten anything about his 69 days of pre-trial detention.
Nor from this autumn morning in 2012 when the police officers from the IGPN, the police force, arrived at his home.
Along with other Bac officials, he is suspected of corruption, racketeering, drug trafficking and personal enrichment.
Bags of cannabis were found in the false ceilings and cupboards of the police station where he worked with his colleagues, and the IGPN produced documents taken from surveillance or recordings of conversations inside patrol cars.
“There is no place for those who soil the uniform,”
thunders Manuel Valls, Socialist Minister of the Interior.
For Sébastien Soulé, today departmental secretary of the
Alliance
Police union in Var, it is the beginning of the descent into hell.
And yet, during the trial, 10 years later, they are no longer
“rogue or corrupt cops who have become kingpins and traffickers that the judges hear, but police officers who used “borderline” methods
.”
Sébastien Soulé was finally released on April 22, 2021.
Today he reveals his truths about the affair in a book entitled
Flic à la Bac Nord
(City).
