The daily newspaper lifts the veil on this suspect's trajectory. Le Figaro Magazine has had access to documents that shed light on his profile, at the moment when he agrees to testify for the first time.
The toll — one dead and seven injured — and the linking of the facts to a terrorist enterprise of a racist nature place the case beyond an isolated homicide. Le Figaro says it is relying on investigation documents to report on it.
Seated in the back of an unmarked police car, the man adopts a"detached and laughing"demeanor, according to information from Le Figaro. This attitude stands at the opposite extreme of the horror he is suspected of having committed.
Investigators note a"mischievous"look as he leads them to his apartment in Plaisir. The dwelling had previously been booby-trapped.
The device relied on three gas cylinders. They were connected by electrical cables to a timer and to a firecracker containing steel balls and nails.
These elements, recorded by investigators and reported by Le Figaro, describe both the suspect's attitude and the mechanism discovered at his home. He remains in pretrial detention for murder and attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise of a racist nature.
