Three people were indicted on Friday, January 21, as part of a judicial investigation into the attack on the deputy La République en Marche of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon Stéphane Claireaux outside his home in mid-January, indicates the national gendarmerie in a press release this Saturday. “Investigations are continuing to identify other perpetrators”, adds the police.
Investigators viewed “dozens of videos posted on social networks”, have auditioned “about thirty identified witnesses” and managed to identify these three suspects who were arrested last Thursday. This is a man suspected of “the tearing off of the deputy’s mask” and a man and a woman suspected of “seaweed jets” (a mixture of algae), explain the gendarmes.
They were initially placed in police custody before being brought before an investigating judge on Friday. They are indicted and placed under judicial supervision, with a ban on coming into contact with their victim and a ban on participating in a demonstration.
On Sunday January 9, the deputy was targeted by numerous projectiles, algae, seaweed and pebbles, as he left his home to dialogue with dozens of demonstrators who came to his home to protest against the health pass , he explained to franceinfo the next day. He was also insulted. The elected official filed a complaint.
