The investigators had precipitated the arrests when they learned that one of the men, Jean-Pierre Bouyer, retired Isère, had moved to the east of France where Emmanuel Macron was for his memorial journey on the centenary of the end of the Great War.
When he was arrested in Moselle, the one who ran the “Barjols” Facebook page for Isere was in possession of a dagger.
