Macron’s bodyguard beats up protesters

[Firestarter]

On 1 May 2018, senior security aide to French President Emmanuel Macron since 2016, 26-year-old Alexandre Benalla, dressed up in riot gear to "lend a hand" to the police in beating up protesters against Macron in Paris.
Benalla was caught on camera attacking 2 peaceful protesters. See him throwing one of them on the ground.


After the video of Benalla beating up protesters was put on the internet, Macron's office director Patrick Strzoda notified Benalla in a letter that he is suspended from May 4 to May 19 (15 days), for his “manifestly inappropriate behavior” on 1 May:

Your behaviour causes harm to the exemplary character expected, in all circumstances, of agents of the French presidency.

After his 15 day suspension, Benalla was repeatedly seen “guarding” President Macron, for example on 14 July at the Bastille Day military parade in Paris (with glasses).


On 18 July, Le Monde exposed Benalla as the helmeted man assaulting 2 protesters in the video. Another employee of Macron, Vincent Crase, was also part of the group that assaulted the protesters on 1 May.
Benalla asked the police to send him the video footage, the 3 cops that sent him the videos have been suspended. Benalla, Crase and the 3 cops are placed under “formal investigation”.

On 20 July, the Élysée announces it will fire Benalla, based on “new information” (that couldn’t be denied anymore): http://www.france24.com/en/20180724-...iament-inquiry


According to French law, Presidential officials should have notified prosecutors about Benalla committing a crime.

Alexandre Benalla was even involved in the celebration for France’s football World Cup win. See him in the driver cabin on the left of the bus driving France’s football team on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, 16 July.


Maybe the most stunning news is that Benalla was given a luxurious apartment in a chic part of Paris earlier this month: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/07/a...on-riot-police


Interior minister Gérard Collomb and prefect of police Michel Delpuech told MPs that Benalla’s superiors at the Élysée were responsible for reporting his actions under France’s penal code.
Collomb said that he believed that the 15-day-suspension was “appropriate”. Only after the public outrage after Le Monde exposed Benalla he considered taking graver action.

Director of public order of the Paris police prefecture, Alain Gibelin, told the hearing that Benalla had attended working meetings between police and Elysée security teams between 2 and 18 May (during which time he was supposed to be suspended from his post): https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...otester-attack

Emmanuel Macron confirmed that he was fully aware of the 15-day suspension for beating up peaceful protesters, Macron said:

It is me who trusted Alexandre Benalla, it is me who confirmed the punishment.

Opposition parties have called the parliamentary “investigation” of this scandal a “charade”.

The following picture shows Alexandre Benalla holding a proteser next to another Macron aide Vincent Crase (to his left), May 1.


Benalla has been involved in the security of leaders of the French socialist party since 2011 and he was an adviser to Macron’s campaign.
Benalla has admitted that he was “extremely stupid” but was “only helping police neutralize two violent protesters”.
I haven’t seen any evidence that these protesters were “violent“…

Replying to the rumours that Macron was in a gay relationship with his bodyguard, Macron replied: “Benalla has never been my lover!”.
Macron has earlier this year denied that he had a gay love affair with CEO of Radio France, Mathieu Gallet. There were rumours that a paparazzi photographer had taken salacious pictures of Macron with Gallet in a forest.

The 40-years-old Emmanuel Macron married the paedophile Brigitte in 2007. Brigitte is more than 24-year his senior; she seduced him when Macron was only 15 and she was his teacher at school.
Her daughter was only 9 at the time: https://heavy.com/news/2018/07/alexa...lla-alexander/


Benalla’s father was a Moroccan. He changed his first name to the “French sounding” Alexandre (I don’t know what it was…).
Benalla had a luxury house in Paris, a car with a chauffeur, a nice salary, a gun, and even accreditation to the National Assembly. Benalla also had “secret défense” security clearance, so he could read about highly classified military “secrets”.

Reportedly Macron wanted Benalla to set up a French “secret service” like in the US which would be exclusively responsible for presidential security.

Benalla’s associate, the lawyer Karim Achoui, has been linked to Islamic radicals and says Benalla is “very sensitive to the Muslim cause”.

It has been stated that Benalla is close to the Masonic lodges Grand Orient and Emir Abdel Kader, the second of which was founded to connect Freemasonry and Islam: https://diversitymachtfrei.wordpress...folks-for-fun/

Alexandre Benalla, the disgraced former security aide to French President Emmanuel Macron, has been placed in custody amid a probe into the use of diplomatic passports after resigning from the Élysée Palace.

Benalla, who was sacked last year after a scandal over his beating of protesters, continued to use his government-issued passports to travel to other nations, French media revealed in December. Paris prosecutors opened an investigation in response and have now taken the former official into custody, the office reported on Thursday.

Diplomatic passports are issued to officials to make their travel easier and grant them some legal immunity while on foreign soil. Benalla reportedly handed over the ones issued to him after being fired, but got it back from the president’s office in October. The document is said to expire in September 2022.

The ex-adviser stands accused of misusing his diplomatic passport in 20 trips between August and December, according to Macron’s chief of staff, Patrick Strzoda, who spoke on the issue on Wednesday before the French Senate Law Commission.

Alexandre Benalla, the disgraced former security aide to French President Emmanuel Macron, has been placed in custody amid a probe into the use of diplomatic passports after resigning from the Élysée Palace.

Macron's chief of staff, Patrick Strzoda, told the Senate Law Commission on Wednesday that Alexandre Benalla used the diplomatic passports 20 times between 1 August and 31 December 2018.
Strzoda also said Benalla had used a fake document with the letterhead of the President's chief of staff to request his second service passport.

Benalla said on 30 December that he had returned his diplomatic passports to the Elysée Palace in August but they were given back to him at the beginning of October by "a member of the presidency".
Benalla also said:

Since they were given back to me, I did not see any reason not to use them.
I may have been wrong to use these passports. But I did it only for personal comfort, to make it easier for me to travel in airports. I did not use them for my business, and I do not see what they could have done for me.

Benalla said on 31 December that he had regular contact with President Macron on current affairs, like the "gilets jaunes" (yellow vest protests):

They cannot deny it. It will be very hard to do because all these exchanges are on my mobile phone.
