Former Interior Minister Christophe Castaner has been cleared of discrimination charges related to the suspension of a police officer suspected of radicalization. The investigation, initiated by a complaint from officer Hervé C., a Muslim convert, was dismissed as there was no evidence of Castaner’s involvement in the controversial decisions. This decision absolves him from any potential trial, with his lawyer expressing satisfaction at the ruling. The case had drawn attention after another Muslim convert within the police committed a violent attack in 2019, leading to heightened scrutiny of the department’s policies on radicalization.
