Aurélien C., a former soldier converted into security and a lover of weapons, was late morning in the process of deferral to the Paris court after his interrogation in the premises of anti-terrorism in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine ). Judicial information must be opened for " individual terrorist enterprise " and " breach of the arms legislation in relation to a terrorist enterprise ", according to the Pnat, which will require the detention of the suspect in pre-trial detention. The man, who participated in the movement of " yellow vests ", was arrested Tuesday morning after disseminating increasingly virulent messages on social networks, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Embracing the ultra-right and anti-Semitic theses, he was the promoter of the discourse on " the great replacement " and " presented himself as a worshiper of Brenton Tarrant ", the Australian white supremacist accused of having killed 51 people in two mosques in New Zealand in March 2019, reported another source familiar with the matter. According to initial investigations, he had carried out searches on the Internet on places of the Jewish community in Limoges.

During the search of his home, investigators found three pyrotechnic devices with bolts on them, a World War II rifle and ammunition, one of the sources said. According to an employee of the company where he had worked for 10 years, the security guard had " never had a problem, no deviation ". " I think it was someone who was very alone. He had nothing to do with colleagues, ”he added.

Aurélien C., however, has already been sentenced twice by the justice system: to four months in prison in 2019 for threats against activists of SOS Racisme and to five months in prison suspended in the same year for acquisition and detention without authorization.
