The 12th arrondissement of Marseille, epicenter of suspicions of proxy fraud. According to our information, a police officer in the 12th arrondissement is on the radar of his hierarchy in connection with suspicions of proxy fraud in the camp of Martine Vassal, LR candidate for municipal elections in Marseille.

“The officers of the South Division carried out checks because they were afraid of being affected. They realized that a policeman from the 12th police station was somehow an ace of the tampon. During confinement there were two or three proxies a week, doing much more. Everyone struggled for proxies, nobody could move around too much for health reasons, he had an impressive rate of proxies, "confided to 20 minutes a police source.

"Little room for interpretation"

It is precisely in an Ehpad in the 12th arrondissement that proxies were made for the elderly, and often dependent, without their knowledge, as revealed by France 2 on Wednesday. The campaign office of LR candidates in the sector, Julien Ravier and Valérie Boyer, had been searched last weekend.

“The police officer in question is two years from retirement. She's a pretty person, I don't care. I don't think he is a political activist, but rather someone who has nothing to do with it. It's annoying because it casts stigma on the profession, while half of the police do not vote, "says the same police source.

A member of the South Division recalls that "the rules are defined in texts that have been widely distributed within the police stations, and they leave very little room for interpretation". The Marseille Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into "forgery and the use of forgeries" and "fraudulent tactics tending to the irregular exercise of proxy votes" after the revelations of France 2 and Marianne on suspicions of proxy fraud by two running mats from Martine Vassal.
