The neighbors of his two-room apartment in Asnières (Hauts-de-Seine) saw in him only a discreet old man, who found it difficult to walk and lived confined like all the elderly in France. Saturday, at 6:30 am, the gendarmes of the Central Office for the fight against crimes against humanity (OCLCH) came to arrest this modest tenant whom he suspects to be Félicien Kabuga, a Rwandan accused of being "the financier » Of the Tutsi genocide, which killed 800,000 people in the spring of 1994. In the apartment, the gendarmes arrest the man in the presence of one of his sons. Aged 84, he easily admits being the fugitive wanted since 1994 and targeted since 2013 by an arrest warrant from Interpol for, in particular, "genocide" and "incitement to genocide". Presented in the afternoon to the Nanterre prosecutor, the former businessman was incarcerated in the Health prison.
This arrest puts an end to 26 years on the run for the one who remained the greatest figure of the “genocidaires”
