The deputy Val-d'Oise Aurélien Taché is accused of having insulted the police.
An investigation was opened after a fight in Niort in Deux-Sèvres following which the former member of LREM allegedly made outrageous remarks to members of the police.
"An investigation is underway," said the Niort prosecutor's office to an AFP correspondent on Wednesday, adding that the Departmental Directorate of Public Security (DDSP) had "not filed a complaint".
The Alliance union, which denounces “a new slippage of an elected representative of the Republic”, had indicated in a press release on Wednesday that a complaint had been filed by the DDSP of Deux-Sèvres.
"Public apologies" expected
“You are shitheads.
The deputy would have pronounced this sentence following an attack in a bar in Niort on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, reports the newspaper Le Point.
The SGP police unit union in Niort will “at least ask for a public apology if the facts are proven”, declared its representative Pascal Valès.
Contacted by AFP, the deputy did not want to speak.
According to his lawyer, Me Jade Dousselin, the elected official "was the victim of an attack", receiving "many blows, particularly to the head and face", which earned him two days of temporary incapacity for work (ITT) .
"State of bewilderment"
"These words, the violence of which he can only regret, were spoken (...) when he was in a state of amazement linked to the physical and psychological shock he had just suffered", she explained. .
Elected MP for Val-d'Oise in June 2017 under the label La République en Marche, Aurélien Taché resigned from Emmanuel Macron's party three years later, before founding the "New Democrats" party with other former walkers.
