Kidnapping Mia: revelations about the conspiratorial guru behind the commando

New twist in the investigation into the kidnapping of little Mia, 8 years old, found safe and sound Sunday morning in Switzerland. Rémi Daillet-Wiedemann, a Frenchman living in Malaysia for several years, now finds himself at the heart of the investigations, suspected of having influenced those implicated in the kidnapping of the girl carried out in the Vosges last Tuesday. According to our information, his name was thus cited on several occasions by those in custody as an ideological reference which would have encouraged them, directly or indirectly, to remove the child from his grandmother. So much so that Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann, born in 1966, is now wanted by French justice. According to corroborating sources,an international arrest warrant was thus issued against him on Sunday April 18 by the investigating judge in charge of the judicial investigation opened for "kidnapping in an organized group of a minor of 15 years" and "criminal association" .

Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann, 54, former president of the Haute-Garonne MoDem at the end of the 2000s (he was excluded from François Bayrou's party in 2010) and son of Jean-Marie Daillet (former UDF deputy), is no stranger to the intelligence services. His name appeared in the investigation into the attack on a gendarmerie in Dax (Landes) last November. After having smashed the entrance gate of the gendarmerie using his vehicle, the perpetrator, suffering from psychiatric problems, had explained his passage to the act by the influence exerted on the Internet by Daillet-Wiedemann. Last summer, the same Daillet-Wiedemann, sheltered behind a pseudonym, welcomed on social networks the inscription of negationist tags on a memorial stele in Oradour-sur-Glane (Haute-Vienne).In this village stormed by the SS in June 1944, the men had been machine-gunned, the women and children locked up and burned in the church. Since then, "RDW" was the subject of a blue note (simple search for information) Interpol issued at the request of the gendarmes of the Central Office for the fight against crimes against humanity (OCLCH).

Apart from these two recent episodes, the man has established himself for several years as one of the major figures of the French-speaking conspiracy sphere. Its videos are seen by several hundred thousand Internet users and the Covid-19 pandemic, the breeding ground for many fantasies, has further increased its popularity. At the head of a website where his name appears in black and white in the contact address, he notably defends a program entitled “Call for the overthrow of the government of the French Republic”. A sort of "peaceful and popular" coup d'etat which aims, beyond members of the government, to evict some of the political and judicial personnel as well as to lay off the police.And it is while surfing on the theme of a supposed shipwreck of France that Daillet-Wiedemann recruits his followers before showering them with his thoughts and his injunctions via encrypted messaging. "France is dead, of course, but it will resuscitate, he warns in the preamble of his program. I'll be the humble trigger that drives everything else. Yes, I am going to overthrow the government of the Republic, totally sold to the money powers ”.

Its shadow hangs over other failed child abduction attempts

In this astonishing intellectual bric-a-brac in touch with recent events, you can find everything, as in a hardware store. Opposed to wearing a mask which he considers "useless", to confinement ("fatal for our economy") and to massive vaccination campaigns, he also advocates the idea of ​​France leaving Europe, pushing for dismantling of the new 5G telecom network and the cancellation of fines against yellow vests. Using sovereignist and sometimes xenophobic accents, this self-proclaimed leader of an invisible army also denounces "the migratory invasion which is beheading Africa" ​​and calls for "the forfeiture of nationality for delinquents of foreign origin". Finally, in connection with the Mia affair, he announces his project to “stop the abusive placements of children” and defends the idea, via a dedicated website,home education, breaking away from National Education. A vision which seemed to adhere in particular Lola Montemaggi, the mother of Mia.

From Malaysia, was Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann at the helm of Operation “Lima”, a code name used by its authors to designate the kidnapping project of the girl? Or was he, at the very least, kept informed of the progress of the operation? "Nothing allows to establish it at this stage", warns a source close to the investigation. However, its shadow already hangs over other attempts at abortive child abductions. "Reconciliations with files are being verified," said another source. "He mentioned other children but no stricto sensu project materialized at this stage" adds an intelligence man. His name appears in any case in anti-terrorism proceedings because of his desire to "recruit all the way" emulators in France for violent actions.

In the Mia case, it appears that Lola Montemaggi was initially in contact with only one of the men from Operation "Lima". This is the nicknamed "Bouga", a forty-something living in the Doubs who was physically present neither at the scene of the kidnapping in Poulières (Vosges), nor during the flight which ended on Sunday morning in a squat located in the commune of Sainte-Croix (Switzerland). Then, this man, indicted Sunday evening, would have helped to form a group of five volunteers. Four of them have been indicted and the fifth, nicknamed "Basil", has not yet been identified. Members of "a community of ideas", in the words of the public prosecutor of Nancy, these men between 23 and 60 years old gravitated in the dark orbit of Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann.At least some of them.

"Do not believe anything that people say about me, warned the Malaysian guru to the address of his followers in a text published on his website a few months ago.

And we will say, you can imagine.

Me, I am only the pastor who goes to meet the wolves ”.

The "pastor" now finds himself in the sights of French justice.

As for Lola Montemaggi, the mother of little Mia, she sleeps behind the bars of a Swiss prison while awaiting her extradition to France and her probable indictment.
