Laurent Nuñez denies organizing leak of false information targeting Rima Hassan
The Interior Minister is implicated by France 2's investigative program Complément d'enquête, which involves him in the spread of incorrect information about allegedly finding drugs in Rima Hassan's bag during her custody in April.

France 2's investigative program Complément d'enquête, which aired Thursday evening, implicates Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez in spreading false information concerning the alleged presence of drugs in Rima Hassan's bag during her custody in early April.
According to the program's investigation, the minister allegedly participated, directly or indirectly, in the circulation of this information, which subsequently proved to be unfounded.
Laurent Nuñez firmly rejected these accusations. "I organized no leak," he declared, contesting any involvement in the spread of this incorrect information.
The matter raises questions about the circulation of sensitive information concerning people held in custody and the role of authorities in its potential public disclosure.
At this stage, no further details have been provided about the exact source of the leak mentioned by the program, nor about any potential legal or administrative follow-up to this matter.
