French police accused of doctoring file data on jihadist who murdered Normandy priest
An online investigative publication has accused Paris police of failing to act on prior warnings about one of the Islamic State militants who killed Father Jacques Hamel in 2016, and of post-dating intelligence memos once the attack occurred.I wouldn't be shocked if similar cover-ups were made regarding other disasters they caused, including the murder of 2 cousins in Marseille. All officials involved in the cover-up should be told to resign and stop robbing the taxpayers of money they don't intend to earn honestly. This was just one of the worst disasters of the Francois Hollande regime.
Mediapart claims that officials held back a note on 19-year-old Adel Kermiche regarding an intercepted seven-minute encrypted conversation on Telegram suggesting that he intended to carry out an attack on French soil, citing churches as a target and Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray in particular. The publication asserts that police had the report a week before the fatal July attack on the 85-year-old priest yet failed to pass it up the chain of command to counter-terror units.
In one of the videos on Telegram, Adel Kermiche reportedly said he gave classes at the mosque of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, and called on jihadists to hit churches: “You go into a church where there is polytheism and you demolish everything! You do what has to be done and that’s it! People in France, now is the time to strike. Here! I say it clearly: strike!”
Mediapart blames the initial police error on overly bureaucratic processes that slow the transfer of information, as well as understaffing during summer holidays and poor work conditions.
The publication cites an unnamed intelligence officer as saying that since what they write is classified as a defense secret, “there are too many controls, too much rereading, too many chiefs who want to correct the notes, put their own input into it.”
Once the attack occurred, the police tried to cover up their bungling of the situation by altering the date on two intelligence memos to make it look more recent, Mediapart claims. Superiors allegedly ordered the officer who wrote the original report to get rid of the note, then rewrite and post-date it to make it look as if the information was received after the attack on Father Hamel.
