A police officer who rose to prominence combating violence against French police has been found dead.

Maggy Biskupski was found at her home in the Yvelines area west of Paris, having apparently shot herself with her service weapon.

She was the president of France’s MPC, or “movement of angry police officers”, set up after a Molotov cocktail attack on officers in 2016.

The high rate of police suicides has been a key part of the MPC’s campaigns.
