Harpon had worked for the police since 2003. “There was no alert at the right level at the right time,” Castaner told France Inter radio on Monday. It said in a statement on Monday that it would seek answers about “the conditions that allowed a criminal attack to take place within the police headquarters”. Harpon’s 38-year-old wife was freed from police custody without charge on Sunday after several days of questioning. Police found the couple had exchanged 33 text messages shortly before the attack, ending the conversation with “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest).
