"I am not a man to rejoice in the imprisonment of another, but ..." But a little, all the same.

The beginning of the letter that Michel Neyret addressed to Claude Guéant, of which

Le Point

publishes extracts, sets the tone.

While his former Minister of the Interior has just been sentenced to two years in prison, one of which is closed, the ex-n ° 2 of the Lyon PJ, imprisoned in 2018 for corruption and criminal association, remembers the way Claude Guéant hastened to give him exemplary lessons through the media.

An exemplary lesson that does not pass

“I cannot forget the exemplary lesson that, in your capacity as Minister of the Interior, you came to give in Lyon, in October 2011, in front of the officials of the judicial police, a few days after my arrest. 'exemplarity which, you will agree, in the light of the turpitudes which have since been reproached to you, takes on a particular flavor, ”he writes.

Michel Neyret keeps hanging in his throat the defamatory and disproportionate "media campaign" that Claude Guéant "skilfully orchestrated" against him just after his arrest, "ignoring this sacred principle behind which you have never ceased to take refuge, the principle of the presumption of innocence ”.

No personal enrichment in the case of Neyret

The ex-"super-cop" also recalls that the investigation of which he was the subject did not reveal any personal enrichment.

This is not the case with Claude Guéant, condemned for having drawn on the budget of the Ministry of the Interior.

He was also fined 75,000 euros.

Good prince, Michel Neyret has not forgotten either the sadness he felt in spending the Christmas holidays behind bars, instead of being with his loved ones, "thus giving me the possibility of apprehending the feeling that must currently be yours and that of your family ”.

Solidarity of prisoners.
