A man aged around 20 was charged on Friday March 21 by an anti-terrorism judge at the Paris court for ‘criminal association in connection with a terrorist project’ and ‘glorification of terrorism’, Paris Match reports. He was remanded in custody. This information was confirmed by judicial circles.
The suspect was arrested at the beginning of the week by investigators from the Directorate-General for Internal Security (DGSI) at his parents’ home in Meaux (Seine-et-Marne). The man is suspected of having visited several websites dedicated to the manufacture of homemade explosive devices and the purchase of products for their manufacture.
