The investigation into the kidnapping of little Mia continues.

INTERVIEW

The investigation continues to understand who took part in the kidnapping of little Mia.

The little girl was found in Switzerland with her mother, who had ordered the kidnapping of Mia, this Sunday.

Five alleged perpetrators were arrested and indicted in Nancy.

But the latest investigations are also turning to Rémi Daillet-Wiedemann, a former member of the Modem, a refugee in Malaysia and well known to the intelligence services.

The 55-year-old man, a conspirator, refuses to speak of kidnapping but rather of returning a child to his mother at the microphone of Europe 1.

Part of the operation funded from Malaysia?

For the former Modem member, Mia's kidnapping "is restitution to the parent who has parental authority," he explains.

For the 55-year-old man, "it is the state that abducts tens of thousands of children every year".

"They are courageous people who did what had to be done as a good father and they are perfectly right to do it. I congratulate them!", He adds.

However, custody of little Mia had been entrusted to her maternal grandmother last January.

- The kidnapping of Mia, a crazy epic conceived "like a military operation"

The former Modem member avoids questions about his involvement in the kidnapping of the little girl. He refuses to explain his links with the mother of the girl, Lola Montemaggi, or with the five other members of the commando. Rémi Daillet-Wiedemann simply explains that he often responds to parents in difficulty faced with placements that they deem abusive. But justice reproaches man more than his role of guru.

The prosecutor of the city of Nancy specified that Rémi Daillet-Wiedemann would have participated in the kidnapping of the little girl. He would have put Lola Montemaggi in touch with the woman who lodged him in his flight to Neuchâtel, Switzerland. One of the respondents also explained in police custody that Rémi Daillet-Wiedemann had financed the operation to the tune of 3,000 euros, all from Malaysia.
