He had been "pinned" by the program "Zone Interdit", broadcast on Sunday on M 6. Described in the program as providing boxes allowing veiled women to have lunch or dinner out of sight, the restaurant Le Familial, located in the city center of Roubaix (North), was closed this Wednesday by the prefecture, reports La Voix du Nord.
Official reason?
"Non-compliance with regulations on hygiene and food traceability".
If the prefecture does not make a link with the broadcast of "Forbidden Zone", the timing raises questions.
According to La Voix du Nord, the police check, operated by the Departmental Directorate for the Protection of Populations (DDPP), was carried out two days after the broadcast of the M 6 report. If the restaurant was not mentioned by name, it was easy to recognize him for those who knew him.
Several allegations against the restaurant
According to the closure order, which La Voix du Nord was able to consult, the establishment is accused of "insufficient cleaning and maintenance of premises and equipment", "lack of traceability of raw materials and preparations" , “equipment intended for staff hygiene and insufficient staff clothing”, or even “insufficient knowledge of good hygiene practices”. To reopen, the restaurant must fill the gaps detected by the DDPP, otherwise it will have to remain closed. The restaurateur can also appeal within two months.
Already, the prefecture of the North had been brought to react as of Sunday evening about an association, there also questioned in "Forbidden zone".
“Checks carried out by state services have shown that the AIR association provides Arabic lessons of a cultural nature,” she wrote on Twitter, adding that state subsidies to this association have were suspended on March 1, 2021. The prefecture also indicated that it had "requested reimbursement of the subsidies paid" and made a "report to the Lille prosecutor's office".
