Gérald Darmanin welcomed a “great crackdown against child crime”. A total of 80 people suspected of child crime were arrested this week in France, we learned on Saturday from a police source.
The arrests took place in 53 departments, including two overseas, said this source, confirming information from Actu 17.
Among the suspects are two school teachers, one of whom had “images of children in his care,” added the police source.
A night supervisor in a home for children with disabilities is also one of the people accused.
These arrests were coordinated by the new Juvenile Office (Ofmin). “Pedocriminal content” was discovered during a search, the police source said.
At the end of police custody, 51 people were referred, added the police source. Other police custody was lifted while technical exploitation was carried out, in particular of the suspects’ telephones or computers. “Investigations are still ongoing,” said the Minister of the Interior.
