The director general of the national police, Frédéric Veaux, announced on Wednesday that he had confirmed the sanctions proposed Tuesday by the disciplinary boards before which five police officers appeared in connection with the feminicide of Mérignac.

These sanctions ranged from a warning to three days of temporary suspension of service.

Four officers and commissioners, including the departmental director of public security (DDSP) of Gironde, Martin Levrel, were summoned to Paris while two brigadiers were summoned to Bordeaux.

The disciplinary council had proposed a warning against the DDSP and three days of suspended suspension against the commissioner.

An IPGN report had established faults and errors of assessment

Only one brigadier had appeared in Bordeaux, the other having finally obtained a postponement for health reasons.

The disciplinary council had proposed against him a sanction of the "first group" which includes warning, blame and temporary exclusion of up to three days, according to the regional secretary of the Alliance union, Eric Marrocq.

The same sanctions had been recommended for the other officers, namely three days of temporary suspension of duty, according to corroborating sources.

On May 4, in Mérignac, in the suburbs of Bordeaux, Chahinez Daoud was shot and killed before being set on fire in the street by her violent husband from whom she was separated.

Already convicted of domestic violence, the latter, who had just come out of prison, had again threatened his wife.

She had filed a complaint two months before being killed.

In September, a report from the IPGN, the “police of the police”, had established that mistakes or errors of appreciation had been committed by several agents within the framework of this feminicide which had triggered a wave of emotion.

In its conclusions, the IGPN did not however recommend the summons before the disciplinary council, a decision finally taken by Frédéric Veaux.
