"A request for suspension was made for one of them," the same source added, without further details on the duty station and the rank of the two agents.

Computer scientist, Mickaël Harpon was in charge of the maintenance of the Intelligence Directorate of the Prefecture of Police (DRPP). According to an internal report of the DRPP, this administrative agent converted to Islam for ten years had justified in 2015 to some of his colleagues the Charlie Hebdo attack without being the subject of a "formal" report . Reporting a "dysfunction of the state", Interior Minister Christophe Castaner had estimated that the alerts on the behavior of Mickaël Harpon had not been made "at the right level" and "at the right time".
