Drug Gangs Bribe, Blackmail and Intimidate Mayors, Cops and Other Public Officials: French Prime Minister Lecornu

France in danger of becoming a narco-state?

Sebastien Lecornu é the seventh French Prime Minister under the failed two-term presidency of Emmanuel Macron.

Lecornu is tasked with taking the outgoing government into this last stretch until next year’s Presidential elections, a vote that rightwing Marine Le Pen is fully expected to win.

But the Prime Minister has to at least appear to be doing something urgent and energetic, because the Republic is falling apart at the seams.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the absolute catastrophe that the unchecked mass migration has wrought upon France, from the imported rape culture to the stabbing epidemic – it’s all fraying the fabric of French society.

But what is perhaps not as well covered is the scourge of organized crime.

Yesterday (20), Lecornu warned his cabinet (and the nation) that drug gangs are bribing, blackmailing and intimidating mayors, police and other public officials.

Not that this is any news, but the announcement is to the effect that the PM has – finally – decided to focus his attention on the ongoing disaster.

The Telegraph reported:

“Sébastien Lecornu has told ministers to tighten controls on sensitive data and pursue disciplinary action whenever there is evidence of wrongdoing in the civil service. About 150 integrity breaches are detected each year, up 40 per cent in five years.

Mr. Lecornu warned: ‘Due to the growth of organized crime, government departments and state-run organizations are increasingly exposed to high risks of breaches of integrity, given the nature of their remit, their powers and their access to sensitive information or procedures’.”

7 years in, Lecornu fails to treat this criminality growth as an occurrence caused by the failings of the ruinous Macron government.

Unauthorized accesses to sensitive files have surged, Lecornu said.

“One brigadier-chief allegedly carried out at least 194 suspicious searches of police databases, including on figures linked to the powerful DZ Mafia, with investigators finding evidence suggesting searches were ordered for €500 (£435) each.”

The courts have also been targeted with illicit searches of sensitive judicial databases, with several officials already arrested.

But besides bribery, Lecornu also referred to ‘acts of intimidation’ and warned what everyone knows: France risks sliding towards a ‘narco-state’.
