Nearly two weeks later, the scandalous organization of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Stade de France continues occupying the media space.
Michel Cadot (interministerial delegate major sporting events) submitted his report to Elisabeth Borne, Prime Minister, on Friday.
This is not flattering for Didier Lallement and Gerald Darmanin (Minister of the Interior).
Michel Cadot's investigation reveals that he has a series "failures", to explain what happened around the Dionysian enclosure prior, during and after the Spanish club (1-0) win. This was during an evening in which the kick-off was more than 30 minutes late.
He also regrets the police response to incidents that have "serious damaged to France's image".
This document highlights "highly publicized operations to restore order that have raised questions from outside observers regarding our country's ability deliver major events and success. We will soon be responsible for athletes
This report is coming a day after Lallement's hearing in the Senate. He had previously acknowledged "a failure" before this hearing.
Didier Lallement, however, was satisfied that there had been no deaths or serious injuries during this testimony. This defense is comparable to Gerald Darmanin's just a few days before.
