"Kill" Emmanuel Macron during an escape game?

The manager of the company offering this "game" in Toulouse was heard Tuesday for several hours in police custody and the investigation is continuing, said the prosecution.

"The respondent agreed on the materiality of these facts, claiming, however, never to have wanted to directly or indirectly cause the commission of any attack on the physical integrity of the President of the Republic," said the prosecution.

The escape game is a game where the participants, locked in a room, must solve puzzles.

According to La Dépêche du Midi, which revealed the existence of this atypical scenario in this gaming room, the Head of State is represented there by a model, his face swollen and tied up on a wheelchair.

"Overwhelmed by customer feedback"

The manager of the establishment "said she was overwhelmed by the reactions of customers and by the media enthusiasm to which she was then the subject, admitting that her public remarks have, according to her, sometimes exceeded her thought", underlined the prosecution .

Having herself been the subject of threats, the applicant did not wish to file a complaint, he added.

Police custody was lifted during the day and the investigation will continue with the hearing of clients in particular.
