Paris Officer Charged Over Snapchat Sale of Police Files Ahead of June 2026 Trial

Prosecutors allege illicit access to FPR plus TAJ records enabled cash sales via her companion.

Overview

  • The 25-year-old officer and her 31-year-old companion were placed under judicial control after being presented to a judge.
  • They face charges including diversion of file purpose, fraudulent transmission of data, violation of professional secrecy, corruption and money laundering, with a trial set for 15 June 2026 in Paris.
  • Investigators say OFAC first spotted a Snapchat story offering database checks, which led to the identification of a DOPC officer based in Val-de-Marne.
  • Case findings cite about 94 TAJ lookups plus 169 FPR queries, bank transfers from €15 to €5,000, and a pricing grid from €30 to €250 for various services.
  • In custody, both acknowledged the conduct while downplaying its scope, and the officer is barred from any public function as both suspects are banned from contact or leaving France.
