Zoubir, the police candidate for reality TV, explains in TPMP: “I was the victim of indirect racism in the police”

Zoubir is making headlines in France. A policeman in everyday life, he also participates in the reality show “The princes and princesses of love”. A few days ago, the Parisian announced that the police headquarters would have opened administrative inquiries to “breaches of the duty required by his function”.

The 25-year-old would not have notified his management and would have even been on sick leave during his stay on the show. On TikTok, he also praised the benefits of being a police officer such as “nab snaps and numbers on Covid controls”, “leave without certificate” and “take advantage of confinement to go to sleep with the sisters”.

This Tuesday, Zoubir was the guest of Cyril Hanouna in Touche Pas à Mon Poste to explain this controversy. On his participation, he qualifies: “I took unpaid leave from the beginning of 2020. Therefore I was not dependent on the police at that time.”

He therefore admits not having warned his superiors before the shoot. Then, the young man explains the reasons which pushed him to challenge his profession. “I ran into a lot of stuff, a lack of recognition, some xenophobic behavior. There are a lot of very closed-minded behaviors that bothered me. It’s not the institution in itself, because the police are noble. I have been the victim of racism but not directly in fact “ he explained in TPMP.

He also returned to several situations that shocked him. “When a woman comes at 5:55 p.m. to file a rape complaint. And the ‘complainant’ retorts to colleagues ‘Oh, she couldn’t have been raped another day that day.’ do not endorse. Or quite simply make contests between us on the Whatsapp group which collects the most money on fines. I did not join the police force for that. “

If he was not satisfied, why did he not quit his post? The situation is more complicated than that according to the person concerned. “You know how it works, you have to be statutory to resign without paying. If I leave now, I pay 12,000 euros. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not rolling on gold, I don’t have the 12,000 euros. . “

His career in the police force ended, he would like to resume his career in modeling and in the audiovisual industry.
