Article L5312-13-1

Au sein de Pôle emploi, des agents chargés de la prévention des fraudes sont assermentés et agréés dans des conditions définies par arrêté du ministre chargé de l’emploi. Ces agents ont qualité pour dresser, en cas d’infraction aux dispositions du présent code entrant dans le champ de compétence de ladite institution, des procès-verbaux faisant foi jusqu’à preuve du contraire. Ils les transmettent, aux fins de poursuite, au procureur de la République s’il s’agit d’infractions pénalement sanctionnées.

Le fait de faire obstacle à l’accomplissement des fonctions des agents mentionnés au premier alinéa, quel que soit leur cadre d’action, est puni de six mois d’emprisonnement et de 7 500 € d’amende.
