Généraux. After the liberation of France, the RG took back the role that they had in the 1930s. Within the context of the decolonisation, they were confronted to new threats, notably the emergence of modern terrorism with the OAS. From 1973, the job of monitoring France's borders was passed to a dedicated service, the Police de l'Air et des Frontières (PAF). From the 1990s, the RG have been confronted to new events. They now particularly monitor radical Islamism, anti-Globalization movements, and cults. Over the years, there have been numerous accusations that the RG has engaged in illegal spying on journalists or political opponents of the government, apparently with some basis. The abolition of the RG or its integration with some other police service, such as the DST, was suggested several times, and finally implemented on July 1, 2008 (see Direction Centrale du Renseignement Intérieur). The particularity of the RG was their anonymous synthesis reports called feuilles blanches (white sheets). References External links Description on the site of the Ministry of the Interior.
