Black without a professional card was paid for by security. During multiple meetings of Emmanuel Macron at Grenoble, Marseille, and Paris in 2017, the police provided a service of order without authorization. This was revealed by “Le Parisien”, in an investigation published on Thursday, June 30.
This case dates back to 2017, during the 2017 election. Fortunato B., the company’s leader, provided security for the meeting of the president. He also hired officers without cards to police stations in anti-crime brigades. professional. In 1985, the entrepreneur was also sentenced to three years imprisonment for robbery. The company is also prohibited from operating in France, and it does not have an Urssaf employer account.
A report was submitted to the National Council for Private Security Activities in September 2018. This body reports to the Ministry of the Interior. Eight officers from Nice, Cagness-sur Mer and Antibes were singled out because they moonlighted at these political meetings and the charity gala that Leonardo DiCaprio organized in July 2017 in Var. The investigation revealed that both the police and the company manager confessed to the truths by “Le Parisien”.

In November 2020, CyrilleMaillet, the prefect, was appointed as the head of the institution in 2018. Le Parisien reveals an internal document that shows that this decision was made against the advice given by the department heads who were consulted before. These pointed out “very many flaws”.
Cyrille Maillet, who was contacted by the daily believes there is no proof. “That doesn’t prove anything. We are not a judicial service of police. He continues: “It would have required documents, contracts …”,.”
“Our cases generally start with an inspection on site and the findings. There we were seized later. Our job is to possess tangible elements. But that doesn’t mean we are sold out. I am an honest person. Yes, I agree with the other opinions in this case. This is not always the case. To let me decide, the various line managers ask for the maximum. Imagine that, even if it were not, the committee would be less supportive if a manager indicated that he believes that this file is not worthy of a sanction.
