LAPD Chief Michel Moore's security detail is under investigation for wrongfully detaining a man during a trip to France

• Los Angeles Police Department officers were in France last month to discuss Olympic security.
• While there, a security detail for LAPD Chief Michel Moore wrongfully detained a man in Marseille.

During a trip last month to France, two members of Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore's security detail detained a man on the streets of Marseille who they wrongfully accused of stealing the cellphone of a high-ranking LAPD commander's wife, $4.

From November 13-20, the group was in France to discuss security preparations for the Summer Olympics, which will be hosted by French cities in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028, $4.

The incident, which prompted an internal investigation by the department's Professional Standards Bureau, occurred when Moore, LAPD Assistant Chief Robert Marino, their wives, a security detail, and a French National Police attaché were leaving a restaurant in Marseille, $4.

A man on the street bumped into Marino's wife, who believed her phone had been stolen, and was consequently detained by the security detail, $4. Once it was determined the man had not stolen any property, the French police attaché took complaints from the man and others he was with about their treatment, $4.

Because members of the detail attempted to detain an individual outside of their jurisdiction, the US Consulate and local police were notified of the incident, $4.

Insider has reached out to the French National Police for comment. LAPD declined to comment on the incident.
