a sling of an unprecedented scale at the PJ

Whether in Versailles (Yvelines), Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales) or Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), a sling of a scale never seen affects the judicial police (PJ). Friday, October 7, spontaneous demonstrations took place all over France after the forced transfer of Éric Arella. The director of the PJ in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) was sanctioned after broadcasting a video on social networks. Above, the director general of the police is greeted by a hedge of dishonor in Marseille. These images shocked the Ministry of the Interior.

The anger of the police is due to the reform of the judicial police, a service specializing in criminal cases or against major political and financial crime. Gérald Darmanin believes that the reform is necessary to fight more effectively against everyday violence. He therefore asks the PJ investigators to support their colleagues in the police stations under the authority of a single boss in each department and under the control of the prefect.
