A police officer stationed in Nice was indicted and imprisoned Friday evening as part of an open judicial investigation for acts of corruption, we learned on Saturday from the city's prosecutor's office.
The police admitted the facts
This official is suspected of having "given information to a network of drug traffickers", said the prosecutor Xavier Bonhomme, confirming information from Nice-Matin . The official admitted the facts during his police custody, according to the prosecution.
Aged about thirty, this peacekeeper from the police station of L'Ariane, a sensitive area of the city, would have received "several thousand euros", added the magistrate, in exchange for these services rendered. This corruption case had been joined, as part of an additional indictment, to a first drug trafficking case for which one of the dealers was also placed in detention.
