We show these images to the commander of the midi police zone. The meeting takes place at the Démosthène police station, in the presence of his communications manager and another commissioner from the area. From the outset, Jurgen De Landsheer acknowledges having become aware of the facts, while specifying that he was not yet in office when they occurred.
” This is obviously unacceptable behavior. Even more so in the hands of a police officer. As soon as I arrived, the offending police officer was moved to an internal service. He no longer has a weapon and he is no longer on the ground today.”
However, from several sources, these assertions are somewhat called into question. If the police officer is no longer part of an intervention service, he is currently assigned to the apostille service, the one responsible for interviewing victims and suspects. The inspector would even regularly volunteer to transfer inmates to and from the courthouse.
“There was a heavy disciplinary sanction handed down once morest him by the police college” insiste Jurgen De Landsheer. “And when this type of thing happens, the important thing is that there is an immediate reaction and that is the case here.”. During our confrontation, Jurgen De Landsheer will not say more. When contacted, the police college provided some additional explanations. In addition to the fact that he was moved, the police officer would also have received a financial sanction, namely a demotion in the salary scale. Information impossible to verify, disciplinary sanctions being covered by the secrecy of private life. From a good source, we also learn that, despite their seriousness, the images of violence were not transmitted to the college by the police zone.
