Adil died following a chase with the police in full confinement on April 10, 2020. He was trying to evade police control. His scooter collided with an unmarked police vehicle.
New documents have been brought into the case, which explains the postponement of the hearing on Tuesday. The policeman who touched Adil repeatedly made racist remarks and had already boasted to colleagues of having already killed. This information comes from the hearing of the head of the Midi police zone. “The inspector would have boasted of having killed Adil“, says Thomas Haulotte, an independent journalist who was able to consult the document. “Sexist remarks towards women as well.”
Once these revelations reached the ears of his superiors, he was transferred to another department. “He occupies a management position during his shifts, to the satisfaction of his superior and his direct collaborators“, says Sarah Frederickx, spokesperson for the Brussels Midi police zone.
The testimony of the policewoman is not the only incriminating document. It is accompanied by an internal letter signed by a majority of people from an intervention group coordinated by this inspector. “The words are quite shocking and strong enough“, specifies Thomas Haulotte, independent journalist.
This made the hierarchy react. “The person concerned has been instructed to moderate his language, to show empathy and to realize that what was morally or socially acceptable in the past is no longer so today.“, says the spokesperson for Brussels Midi.He heard and integrated this message and adapted his behavior.“
Adil’s family say they are shocked by these revelations.
