The police operation did not remain unnoticed in this popular neighbourhood of Limoges. At around 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning, the Raid and the National Police intervened in the Vigenal neighbourhood of Limoges to arrest a 47-year-old man.
The radicalised Russian citizen had not complied with a house arrest in Limoges. He had left the country to travel to Belgium and Germany. The president of the criminal court in Limoges had issued an arrest warrant for him at the end of last year.
The man, who originates from Chechnya and is listed in the S register because of his affiliation to radical Islam in connection with terrorism, was taken into custody when the warrant was executed.
He was brought before the magistrate, who decided to place him under judicial supervision until his sentence. According to one source, he has no criminal record on French territory. Le Populaire
