Paris police authorities “systematically” wiped tens of thousands of crimes from their books as part of a decade-long cover up to make the capital seem safer than it was, according to “explosive” new government data released on Monday. Some 16,000 criminal acts were airbrushed from police books for 2011 alone, an audit of crime figures for Paris revealed. They said the cover up took off in earnest in 2008 - a year after Nicolas Sarkozy, the former centre-Right president, was sworn into office for a five-year term. From then on, such practices were “organised, systematic” and “masterminded” by police superiors, the report found. The new data followed a report last year by the public sector auditor which found that almost 130,000 criminal acts had “disappeared” from police books on a national level between 2007 and 2012.
