the former director general of the national police denounces the police reform which “will undermine the judicial police”

“There is a contradiction between the assertion that drug trafficking is the most dangerous thing and the fact that we are dismantling the service that deals with organized crime”denounced Monday May 6 on franceinfo the LR vice-president of the Ile-de-France region and former director general of the national police Frédéric Péchenard, while three people were killed in two days in settling of scores in Sevran ( Seine-Saint-Denis).

“The government is right to say that to fight crime in France, we must fight against traffickingbelieves Frédéric Péchenard. But who is really fighting against drug trafficking? It’s the judicial police. However, at the moment, there is a reform of the national police which will undermine the judicial police.”

“Pablo Escobar was not arrested by the local cop, that’s not true”he continued, evoking “organizations of a fairly high level, which have weapons of war, hired killers”.

This police reform led by Gérald Darmanin plans to place all the department’s police services – intelligence, public security, border police and PJ – under the authority of a single departmental director of the national police, reporting to the prefect.
