Didier Lemaire, a philosophy teacher at a high school in Trappes (Yvelines), indicated in recent days in several media that he was the subject of threats after the publication of an open letter in

L'Obs,

shortly after the assassination of Samuel Paty, and that he benefited from "police protection".

The case was taken very seriously and an investigation was opened for "threats to a person charged with a public service mission".

The investigation has been entrusted to the PJ of Versailles since January 26.

"The situation was taken very seriously"

"We were informed of concerns vis-à-vis the professor against whom threats were allegedly made," the Versailles prosecutor's office told AFP, specifying that "the facts were brought to our attention by a third party ”.

A police source confirmed the establishment of a non-permanent security device, especially around the establishment.

The protection service (SDLP), a unit particularly dedicated to the protection of threatened persons, "was not responsible for ensuring their security," said another police source.

After being received Monday at the Academy of Versailles, it was decided that the professor would continue to teach in the establishment, the rectorate told AFP in a statement.
