A person with the entry in the S-file was arrested by police officers from the Brigade des Réseaux Franciliens at the Stalingrad metro station in Paris’ 19th arrondissement at around 2:45 p.m. on Friday October 13, Valeurs actuelles learned from a police source, confirming a report by Le Figaro.
The man was arrested when he threatened users by waving a pointed piece of wood “”back and forth””, a police source told Valeurs actuelles. Authorities quickly brought him to the police station and took him into police custody. Initial investigations, in particular a check of police files, revealed that this person had three arrest warrants. Among them was an “S” file issued by the State Security, which indicated that he was a militant Islamist who could be within France and abroad.
The authorities informed the issuing body of this file, the DGSI (Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure). Subsequently, the police custody of the person was transferred to GLAT 95 (Groupe de lutte antiterroriste du Val d’Oise), which was tasked with further investigations.
