Eric-Régis Fiorile, a figure of the conspiracy movement arrested Wednesday as part of an anti-terrorism investigation, will finally be tried on Monday in Evry for the common law offense of "possession of a category B weapon", AFP learned Saturday with the prosecution.

Fiorile, who presents himself as the president of the self-proclaimed "National Transitional Council of France", was ultimately not prosecuted at this stage in the anti-terrorism file linked to the ultra-right for which he had been. arrested, said a judicial source.

His situation was however taken up by the Evry prosecutor's office to decide on the follow-up to be given to an incidental offense, noted during a search of his home, according to this source.

In recent days, Eric-Régis Fiorile, who presents himself as “president of the government of Free France”, had recorded videos calling for “marching on Paris on December 18”, but the warrant issued by the anti-terrorism judge was prior to this recent video.

Memnre of the "Barjols"

The Evry prosecutor's office indicated that Eric-Régis Fiorile was remanded in custody on Friday, pending his appearance on Monday before the criminal court for "possession of a category B weapon".

His arrest by the DGSI (General Directorate of Internal Security), announced Wednesday on the site of his movement, had been ordered by a judge in charge of the investigation into a small group of ultra-right, "the Barjols", some members of which are suspected of having mentioned a project of violent action against President Emmanuel Macron.

Created in September 2017, after the election of the current president, the “Barjols”, close to the far-right identity, had been dismantled in November 2018 after the arrest of four of his supporters.

A total of nine people were indicted in this case, according to a judicial source in early November.
