The public prosecutor considers that the ex-head of the Central Office for the repression of the illicit drug trafficking (Ocrtis), wrote a false report of police custody, and invented a false preliminary investigation, in order to extract from prison his informant from the Nancy prison.
This episode dates back to April 2012. At that time, Commissioner Thierry recruited as informant Sofiane Hambli, considered one of the biggest cannabis traffickers, detained under the blow of a heavy penalty. The Ocrtis chief decides to extract him from prison, in order to follow a massive import of cannabis from Spain. Problem: the extraction takes place in a very questionable legal framework. The informant is housed at the hotel, near the headquarters of the Central Office, in Nanterre. The Commissioner invokes an in progress preliminary investigation, with the magistrates of the Paris prosecutor’s office. What the latter dispute today. According to them, the policeman would have hidden the real reason for this measure.

On the other hand, the prosecution requires a dismissal in favor of Véronique Degermann, former magistrate at the Paris prosecutor’s office and the main interlocutor of the chief of the ocrtis. The assistant prosecutor has been indicted, and several magistrates heard in this case. While pointing out “the insufficiency of the control exercised by the prosecution”, the Lyon prosecutor believes that the magistrates were not aware of fictitious police custody. “The dysfunctions noted by this instruction have been made possible by the intentional adoption, by the chief of the ocrtis, of a logic of partitioning consisting in giving to his interlocutors, in particular to the French judicial authorities, a fragmented information”, Can we read in the final indictment.
