A man was arrested after the evacuation of the Arena concert hall in Geneva on Saturday evening, where the French rapper Lomepal was to perform, the Geneva public prosecutor’s office announced on Sunday. He had made online threats with a terrorist background.
The 40-year-old had been wanted by the French authorities. He had posted a message on a social network that could be understood as a “threat to commit a terrorist act”, said Olivier Francey, spokesman for the Geneva prosecutor’s office, in a brief written statement. According to information from RTS, the man is said to have links to jihadist networks. RTS / BFMTV
