Two anti-gang French policemen are going on trial on charges of gang-raping a Canadian tourist at Paris police headquarters.
The officers, both members of the BRI force, are accused of raping the woman at 36 Quai des Orfevres, a famous address depicted in many crime movies and novels.
The woman said she met a group of officers across the street near the Seine river in an Irish pub in April 2014. After several drinks, they invited her for a night tour of the headquarters where she claimed she was raped several times.
