Biography
French government employee; appointed General Secretary of the Vichy police by Prime Minister Pierre Laval during WW II, 1942, a post he held until the end of the war in 1944. A few months after his appointment, in July 1942, in the name of national sovereignty, Bousquet pledged allegiance to Karl Oberg, Chief SS in France, and provided the assistance of the French police in the Nazi Aryanisation Project.
On July 16-17 of 1942, the French police arrested 12,884 men, women and children who were deported to Drancy and Pithiviers, antechambers of Auschwitz. Following Bousquet's orders, 6,000 Jews were arrested in the South Zone and turned over to the Germans.
In 1991 Bousquet was accused by the French government of being a war criminal. After a number of trials in which he was never found guilty, he was scheduled to testify again on similar charges. Before he could come to trail, he was murdered in his apartment by writer and activist Christian Didier on 6/08/1993 at 8:45 AM.
