A radicalised illegal immigrant who is under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) and who was the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the Metz Court of Justice on January 26 for glorification of terrorism was arrested on Wednesday February 14 at 3.40 pm by officers of the Brigade des réseaux franciliens (BRF) on a train from Saint-Lazare station in Paris to Mantes-la-Jolie in the Yvelines department, according to our information.
On November 28, the man had expressed his support for Al-Qaeda in a church and delivered a threatening letter. While on the run, he was identified using the fingerprint database (FAED) before being arrested on January 5 in Le Havre in the Seine-Maritime department and hospitalised for mental disorders without the consent of a representative of the State (SDRE).
“A summons was decided by the Metz district court to take him into police custody after completing treatment, but the suspect fled beforehand,” a police source told Valeurs actuelles. The man, who is listed in police records with an S card and who is known to the “Traitement d’antécédents judiciaires” (TAJ) and the “renseignement territorial”, is staying in France illegally and has been issued with a deportation order (OQTF). He will have to undergo another psychiatric examination on Thursday. Valeurs Actuelles
