Paris chief of police to be removed from job following Champions League disaster

The Paris chief of police is to be removed from his job a month after he said he was "the only one responsible" for the Champions League disaster.

Didier Lallement, Prefect of Police in Paris since 2019, is to be removed from his job in the coming months. According to French media organisation BFMTV, relations between Mr Lallement and Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, are still not looking good.

Mr Lallement was due to appear at the meeting of the Council of Paris yesterday but did not attend because he had covid. Ms Hidalgo claimed the absence was "incomprehensible" after Mr Lallement did not appear via video link.
