He was indicted for "threatening to commit crimes against persons because of their religion", as well as for illegal possession of weapons, and was remanded in custody.
A 24-year-old man claiming neo-Nazi ideas will be prosecuted for threatening to attack the mosque in Le Mans, we learned from Angers police on Friday.
The investigation began in early March "after a report made by a young man of North African origin, user of the Azar video exchange network," said Franck Hemery, territorial director of the Angers judicial police.
This user declared that he had been insulted on Azar by an individual with a swastika drawn on his temple, who showed him weapons and threatened to go to the mosque in Le Mans, adding that he would not "go alone" [au sky], continues Franck Hemery.
Weapons at his home
Without a fixed address, the man was located several weeks later in Challans (Vendée), where he was arrested on Wednesday with the help of the Raid police.
Several weapons are found where he lives, including a shotgun.
The suspect, who confessed "a hatred against the Arabs", admitted the remarks he could have made to his interlocutor on Azar, while specifying that he did not remember it because of the consumption of narcotics .
He is known to the courts for acts of willful violence, driving without a license and shoplifting.
