Inside, a plastic bag containing a black flake powder as well as shotgun pellets.
According to the first elements of the investigation, it would be a powder used in hunting cartridges.
The urban security of the Bourges police station was responsible for the investigation.
To the anonymous coward who sent me this envelope with lead and powder: I am indifferent to threats, nothing, ever, can deviate me from the path chosen to reform our country and protect the French! #stopviolence #directANpic.twitter .com/4CHYjx4AAm
