A CRS was sentenced to 18 months suspended prison sentence for violence and falsification of minutes.
His two subordinates were released.
He was accused of assaulting a British volunteer on the sidelines of an evacuation of migrants in Calais.
Videos produced at the hearing made it possible to contradict the version supported in the minutes of the three police officers.
Thursday, a CRS was sentenced to 18 months suspended prison sentence and two years of prohibition to exercise for assaulting a British volunteer in Calais on the sidelines of an evacuation of migrants and falsifying his report.
The two other police officers tried were released.
The prosecution of Boulogne-sur-Mer had requested, in June, a year of suspended imprisonment and five years of prohibition to exercise against the brigadier-chief.
Six months suspended prison sentence and a one-year ban on practice had been required against the other two, suspected of having modified their testimonies to corroborate that of their leader.
Videos that contradict the police officers' reports
On July 31, 2018, the three CRS participated in an operation to evacuate migrants under a bridge in Calais, a crossing point to England.
In his report of interpellation, the brigadier-chief affirmed that British associations "vehement" had got involved, and that he had, "in a reflex of defense", pushed back one of them, Tom Ciotkowski, who falls and "drags him to the ground".
The two reports of testimonies from a brigadier and a peacekeeper, who was himself in the van at the time of the events, corroborated his statements.
The Help Refugees volunteer was arrested and then tried for contempt and violence against a police officer.
He was finally released, in 2019, thanks to videos taken by associations that contradict the statements of officials.
On the basis of the IGPN report, the prosecution had sent back to correctional the three officials, all for forgery in public writing and the chief brigadier for willful violence by a person holding public authority without ITT.
Videos shown at the hearing in June showed Tom Ciotkowski being pushed around by the chief sergeant and falling, alone, on the road over the slide, as a truck passes.
"When we are at the prosecution, we must be able to have clear, objective reports" and be able to have "confidence", had underlined the prosecutor Dorothée Perrier, saying to have the "unpleasant impression" that the reports, "whose content does not correspond at all to the truth ”,“ it is to cover up violence and justify an untimely questioning ”.
In addition to the criminal sanction, there were administrative sanctions.
One of the two subordinates was reprimanded, the other was not sanctioned.
The chief brigadier, him, passed in the disciplinary council which proposed a week of eviction.
