According to these sources, confirming information from Le

Point

and RTL, this police custody began late Saturday morning.

According to one of these sources, she aims "to have an idea of ​​​​his level of knowledge of the projects of his father", who has been indicted for complicity in assassination.

It is currently taking place at the Anti-Terrorist Sub-Directorate (Sdat) of the judicial police, according to the two sources.

Killed in October 2020

On October 16, 2020, history and geography professor Samuel Paty, 47, was stabbed and then beheaded near his college in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines), by Abdoullakh Anzorov, a Russian refugee of Chechen origin, killed shortly soon after by the police.

The 18-year-old man, radicalized, accused him of having shown caricatures of Muhammad in class.

In an audio message in Russian, he claimed responsibility for his gesture, congratulating himself on having "avenge the prophet" insulted in his eyes by Mr. Paty.

He had learned of the controversy around the cartoons via an internet video made by Brahim Chnina, father of a schoolgirl targeted by an exclusion for indiscipline.

The teenager had lied to her father: she had assured that she had been sanctioned for having spoken out against Samuel Paty's request made to Muslim students, according to her, to report themselves during this course on caricatures, to which she had not not attended.

At least fifteen people are indicted in this case, including six college students, the father of the teenager and Mr. Sefrioui.
