French prosecutors have ordered the suspension of four municipal police officers in Carcassonne (a city in southern France) after a bodycam video recorded them making racist and homophobic slurs, including anti-Arab and anti-Black epithets, in a patrol vehicle in November 2025. The footage, accidentally captured by an officer's own bodycam and published by regional daily Midi Libre, prompted prosecutors to open an investigation for defamation on racial grounds, while Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez ordered an inspection of the Carcassonne municipal police force. One of the officers, who had served as a security guard for far-right Rassemblement National (RN) leader Jordan Bardella, was swiftly expelled from the party, which condemned the remarks as 'criminally reprehensible.'
