On Sunday February 25, at around 6 a.m., law enforcement officers arrested an 11-year-old boy as part of a preliminary investigation following an alert for glorification of terrorism and death threats against a person working for the state, a police source told Valeurs actuelles.
The offences consisted of the distribution of threatening videos against his history and geography teacher, in which the child is also alleged to have glorified a terrorist organisation. During the house search, a mobile phone was confiscated and the parents were summoned to a hearing. It was decided to bring the young suspect before the juvenile court judge on Monday the 26th of February.
