The son of Abdelhakim Sefrioui, an Islamic extremist accused and imprisoned in connection with the murder of Samuel Paty, was arrested late Saturday morning by the Sous Direction Antiterroriste and taken into police custody as part of the investigation into the teacher’s murder, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
The 29-year-old was arrested when he went to visit his father in Beauvais prison. According to the same source, the reasons for his detention in this case are currently unknown.
His father, Abdelhakim Sefrioui, had been charged with “accessory to murder in connection with a terrorist attack” in October 2020, shortly after the murder of Samuel Paty. He is accused of helping to stir up the polemic against the teacher that led to his beheading on October 16, 2020 in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines)Le Parisien
