Policeman detained in France: “The decision which will be rendered will be seen in the light of the pressure exerted by the police”

Policeman detained in France The decision which will be rendered

For two weeks, part of the police has been on strike to denounce the temporary detention of one of his colleagues. A Marseille BAC agent suspected of having beaten a young man during the riots in early July. This Thursday, August 3, justice examines the appeal of this policeman who asks for his release. The Minister of the Interior came to his defense, saying that the magistrates apply a “presumption of guilt” against the police. Is this a declaration of war made on justice? Ludovic Friat, president of the Union of magistrates, returns to this file for RFI.
