He is suspected of planning violent actions linked to ultra-right ideology.
A 22-year-old man, living in the Meuse, was indicted and imprisoned, we learned this Saturday from a source close to the case and from the national anti-terrorism prosecutor's office (Pnat), confirming information from BFMTV.
According to the close source, "his indictment is based in particular on the evidence of his participation in discussions on a social network, even though the person concerned was fully committed to the ideology of the violent ultra-right."
“Combat training and plans for violent action linked to ultra-right ideology were notably mentioned during the discussions,” she said.
Indicted for “terrorist criminal association”
A preliminary investigation was opened in June 2023, then a judicial investigation three months later, according to this source.
The man was arrested on Tuesday with two other people "as part of a judicial investigation opened for acts of ultra-right terrorism", said the Pnat.
At the end of his police custody, he was presented on Friday to an anti-terrorism investigating judge of the Paris court who indicted him for “terrorist criminal association with a view to preparing one or more crimes of harm to people,” said the anti-terrorism prosecution.
He is also being prosecuted for “acquisition, possession and transfer of category A, B and C weapons, in relation to a terrorist enterprise”.
The suspect was placed in pre-trial detention by a liberty and detention judge, according to the Pnat.
The other two people had their custody lifted without prosecution at this stage, he added.
