He had threatened a sociologist with beheading, the day after Samuel Paty's assassination.
At the end of December, a man was sentenced to a 1,000 euros fine and a suspended four-month prison sentence by the Saint-Brieuc criminal court (Côtes d'Armor) for having uttered threats against the sociologist Eric Fassin on the social network Twitter.
On October 17, a few hours after the beheading of the teacher Samuel Paty by a young Russian Chechen radicalized, the defendant wrote: "I put you on my list of assholes to behead on the day it breaks."
The man, who usually lives in Germany, was arrested when he returned to spend the end of the year celebrations in Perros-Guirec.
He was sentenced within the framework of an appearance procedure on preliminary admission of guilt (CRPC) for "threat of death materialized in writing, image or any other object".
The tweet had been spotted via the Pharos platform and the respondent said he regretted the facts, according to
The Telegram
.
According to the daily, the man was very involved in extreme right-wing groups in the 1990s and "until the 2000s".
