An attack was thwarted with the arrest of an 18-year-old young man, a masculine claimed, indicted and imprisoned Tuesday evening after being arrested in the Saint-Etienne region with two knives, AFP learned from sources close to the file on Wednesday.
The suspect who was imprisoned in Paris, claims to be of the “Incel” movement (“Involuntary single”, men considering that they would be single because of women who do not want them), confirmed the National Anti -terrorist prosecution (PNAT). According to sources close to the file, he wanted to attack women and was arrested near a high school.
With a juvenile and shy look, the fluet body and dressed in a navy blue t-shirt, he appeared Tuesday evening before the liberty and detention judge (JLD) who crashed him, noted an AFP journalist. “I met a teenager who suffers and not a fighter who is preparing for action. The instruction will bring this file back to its fairest proportion from the point of view of the qualification and personality of the indictment ”, commented to AFP the lawyer for this young man born in November 2006 in the Loire, Me Maria Snitsar.
According to one of the sources close to the file, the young adult, indicted for the association of terrorist criminals for the preparation of one or more crimes of attacks for people and imprisoned, had computed masculinist videos on the Tiktok social network.
According to a source close to the file, it is the first referral to the PNAT concerning an individual claiming to be exclusively of the “Incel” movement, a notion which had previously appeared in a more marginal way in two files dealt with by the PNAT.
The Netflix series Adolescencebroadcast in the spring and which was very successful, highlighted these toxic and misogynous influences to which young men are online. This case comes a month after the arrest of a high school student in Dijon, after he wanted to assassinate another student. In May in Nantes, a 15 -year -old student killed a student from his high school and injured three others with stabs.
