Details regarding the arrest of a policeman in Inzegane for assaulting a woman

Temporary suspension of a police officer in Inzegane following an assault video

As part of its commitment to upholding public service ethics and ensuring respect for the law, the General Directorate for National Security issued a decision this Monday morning, September 7, to temporarily suspend a police officer working in the Inzegane security zone. This decision comes following suspicions of his involvement in criminal acts that endanger the safety of others.

Circumstances of the incident that sparked public outrage

The details of the case trace back to a video circulating on social media, documenting moments where the police officer—who was on his annual leave at the time—assaulted a woman on a public street. The footage shows the immediate intervention of a police patrol that was patrolling the area, which succeeded in detaining the suspect while he was attempting to force the victim into his private vehicle.

Judicial investigation and disciplinary procedures

The General Directorate for National Security confirms that the temporary suspension is a preliminary measure, pending the appearance of the officer before the disciplinary board once the judicial investigation is concluded. The suspect has been placed in police custody, pending the investigation overseen by the competent public prosecutor.

Ongoing investigations aim to uncover the true motives behind this behavior, with preliminary data suggesting that the assault resulted from personal disputes. The security institution emphasizes its strict commitment to applying the law to everyone equally, without discrimination or favoritism, especially when individual conduct harms the image of the security apparatus and the safety of citizens.
