A man was arrested and placed in police custody Tuesday in the Oise for having put online sale of outdated protection materials (masks, gels) against the coronavirus, AFP learned from the gendarmerie.
The operation led by the gendarmes of the Oise, where the largest number of cases of coronavirus contamination is recorded in France, allowed the discovery of 9,400 masks, 3,300 gloves, 4,500 wipes, 80 bottles of gel hydroalcoholic 150 ml and 14 bottles of hydroalcoholic gel 500 ml, all expired, sold on the Le Bon Coin site.
These expired industrial products and doomed to destruction have been diverted to the detriment of an Oise company by one of the employees, added the national gendarmerie.
The scam was uncovered following a watch on online sales sites by the gendarmes of the intelligence office of the Somme gendarmerie group.
The 59-year-old man was arrested and placed in police custody on the instruction of the Beauvais prosecution.
