Since the occurrence of the facts on Friday, the investigation has focused on determining the links between the author and the parent of a student who had implicated Samuel Paty on social networks, as well as with the Islamist activist with Abdelhakim Sefrioui, activist S file for his radicalization.

The controversy surrounding the course taught by this teacher began on social networks on October 7, after Brahim C., the father of a student, posted several messages and a first video on Facebook in which he summed up the members of his community to exclude this professor, a "thug", who boasts "of having made the march for Charlie", he insists.
