"The Centre Pompidou in Paris has filed a legal complaint after a staff member discovered a hidden recording device installed in the women's restroom in its administrative offices. The suspected perpetrator was quickly identified and has been suspended, but some employees say the museum has not been sufficiently transparent about the incident. The covert video camera was found by a female employee, who reported it on January 14."
"An internal email was sent to staff by museum management, reassuring them that "given the seriousness of the incident," the suspect had been "immediately suspended from their duties as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of staff. The museum has issued a statement confirming that it has filed a complaint with the public prosecutor under Article 40 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure, which stipulates that any public official learning of an offense must report it."
A hidden recording device was discovered in a women's restroom of the Centre Pompidou's administrative offices by a female employee on January 14. Museum management identified a suspected perpetrator and suspended that person immediately as a precaution. The institution filed a complaint with the public prosecutor under Article 40 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure. An exhaustive inspection of all restrooms found no other recording devices. Management invited staff to consult Human Resources or the Medical Department. Employees criticized limited transparency because management has not clarified what footage was recorded or whether any images were shared. The museum remains closed to the public for renovation, while administrative offices remain operational.
