Suspected of having given Alexandre Benalla the video surveillance images of the Place de la Contrescarpe in Paris, the promising commissioner of the Directorate of Public Order and Traffic (DOPC), Maxence Creusat, 34, from Alsace , receives a fine of 5,000 euros, without registration in the criminal record. In these images, Alexandre Benalla, identified by the newspaper The world on July 18, 2018, appeared with a helmet of the police, brutalizing a woman and a man at the end of a day of demonstration enamelled with violence.
The investigation had made it possible to determine that the CD-Rom containing the images illegally extracted from the computers of the police headquarters had been recovered at the Elysee Palace, then transmitted to Alexandre Benalla in a shisha bar. The name of Maxence Creusat was among the three police officers indicted for “violation of professional secrecy” and “misappropriation of images from a video protection system”.
The senior official said that he had kept the images of the Place de la Contrescarpe as part of the Synapse cell, responsible, in particular, for feedback on the maintenance of order. A month before the announcement of his appearance in court in the Benalla affair, Commissioner Creusat had once again been transferred to Thionville, after a visit to Haguenau in the Bas-Rhin.
