The prefect of Gard Jérôme Bonnet spoke this Tuesday, February 20 on FranceInfo about his report sent last Friday to the Nîmes public prosecutor's office concerning sermons broadcast by imam Mahjoub Mahjoubi. “Remarks that fundamentally call into question our values,” the prefect was indignant.
The imam defended himself against any radicalization, assuring that it was a “slip of the tongue” While the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin demanded the withdrawal of the imam's residence permit, the public prosecutor’s office opened an investigation for "apology of terrorism"
