A municipal elected official from Marcellaz-Albanais (Haute-Savoie) was placed in police custody on April 15 and then summoned by the gendarmes this Friday.

The police intervened in Seynod (Haute-Savoie) after the 57-year-old man tried to evict a Roma family who had moved into his parents' former house, of which he is now co-owner

Children among the squatters

It was the third time in five years that the house had been squatted in this way, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré.

The elected official had informed the gendarmes as soon as he became aware of the occupation.

However, no eviction could be carried out due to the presence of children.

Fearing the slowness of legal proceedings, the owner then tried to wall the house.

The tone then rose and the 50-year-old used a tear gas canister, leading to the intervention of the gendarmes.

The people who took over the house left it before being intercepted on their way to Italy.

They claimed that the chosen one had driven them to the border.
