The Director General of Civil Security (DGSCGC), Alain Thirion, has been suspended from his duties. This temporary withdrawal, effective since July 3, was announced by a source from the Ministry of the Interior to Corsica Morning and confirmed by theAFP, this Wednesday, July 5, 2023. This suspension decided on a precautionary basis would have been applied after “facts likely to call into question the current DGSCGC” were brought to the ear of Minister Gérald Darmanin. If the nature of the facts in question has not been revealed, the Corsican newspaper writes that it could be “a sexual assault” denounced a week earlier at the National School of Fire Officers from Aix-en-Provence. I’AFP evokes for its part a “sexual assault” or at least reprehensible facts of the same order.
The withdrawal of Alain Thirion from his duties should be recorded during the Council of Ministers on Wednesday and last until the end of the investigation. “An inspection mission has been commissioned and will report its conclusions within a month,” a ministerial source told our colleagues.
