The prison to stop him in the true sense of the word.

"Detention is the last solution," lamented the magistrate.

Referring to "a difficult decision to take", given the age of the professor and his absence of danger, she added: "I decided [...] that you should go to prison for a while".

The JLD indicated that the doctor, who no longer responded to any summons from the courts, would be questioned in the coming weeks by the investigating judge, suggesting the possibility of a rapid review of his detention.

"The virus was created by the Institut Pasteur"

The professor was arrested Thursday in Chaudes-Aigues (Cantal), under an arrest warrant issued by the magistrate in charge of the investigation, for non-compliance with his legal obligations: he is accused of non-payment of his deposit of 10,000 euros and a resumption of contact prohibited with his patients. The examining magistrate had already tried to force him to appear in December, but the professor, then arrested in the Gard, had to be hospitalized for a few days in psychiatry.

"They wanted to eliminate me because I said that the virus" responsible for the Covid "was created by the Pasteur Institute", supported the professor, mask on the chin in the box. He said he was convinced that this thesis, expressed in November in the documentary "Hold-Up" and repeatedly refuted since, was at the origin of his two arrests. Professor Fourtillan has been indicted since March 2020 in a judicial information from the public health pole of the Paris court, for the tests he is accused of having carried out without authorization on more than 350 patients, in particular Parkinson's and Alzheimer's .

These trials, which consisted of administering hormones - valentonine, which the professor claims to have discovered in 1994, and 6-methoxy-harmalan - were organized by the Josefa Fund, created by the professor and his wife, and held in an abbey near Poitiers. “Teacher with us! "," Free Fourtillan! “, Proclaimed Tuesday after the hearing about twenty of his supporters who watched the exit of the prison van.
