The police officer indicted in the investigation into the éborgnement in January 2019 of Jérôme Rodrigues, one of the figures of the “yellow vests”, was sanctioned in early March with a firm exclusion of five days, his lawyer said on Friday March 11.
The official, a member of a security and intervention company (CSI) of the police headquarters (PP), is suspected of having thrown a hand grenade (GMD), the splinter of which caused the loss of the right eye of Jérôme Rodrigues, during a demonstration on January 26, 2019 in Paris.
On March 3, he was given a temporary exclusion from office for 15 days, ten of which were suspended, according to his lawyer Me Sébastien Journé. The disciplinary council of April 2021 had not formulated a sanction proposal, according to Me Journé, who announced his intention to seize the administrative court to contest this decision.
