"These are the behaviors of delinquents," said the director general of the National Police, Frédéric Veaux, in an interview with the

, about the t abassage by police officers of a black music producer on November 21 in Paris.

“The police must behave above reproach.

And this is the case with almost all of them.

These are the people who work in a professional, honest, responsible manner, who will have to suffer the consequences of such behavior, ”lamented Frédéric Veaux, who declared himself“ scandalized ”by this affair.

These events will be treated with the most extreme severity, Zecler promises

Michel Zecler, a black music producer, was severely beaten on November 21 by three police officers in the entrance of a music studio in the capital's 17th arrondissement.

The images of this beating, taken by CCTV cameras, were broadcast Thursday by the Loopsider site immediately causing a wave of indignation, which threw the executive and the majority into turmoil.

President Emmanuel Macron denounced an “unacceptable aggression” and “images that make us ashamed”.

He asked the government to "quickly make proposals" to "fight more effectively against all forms of discrimination".

"You can trust the National Police to ensure that these events are treated with the most extreme severity once the responsibilities have been established", assured Frédéric Veaux.

No lax police towards his own?

"In 2020, 39 police officers were excluded from the National Police, 34 in 2019. These figures twist the rumor of a police lax towards his people," he recalled.

A total of four police officers, suspended since Thursday from their duties, were taken into custody Friday afternoon in the premises of the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN), the police force.

Their custody was extended by 24 hours on Saturday.

Three police officers, at the heart of the scene which caused a scandal, are notably heard for "voluntary violence, in meetings, with weapons and of a racist nature".

The fourth policeman in custody is suspected of having thrown a tear gas canister into the music studio.
