Two men were indicted and placed under judicial control by the Bobigny prosecutor's office (Seine-Saint-Denis) this Friday.
They are suspected of attempted extortion, as well as theft and concealment of theft for one of the two, indicates
Le Parisien
.
They would have demanded money from Mathieu Hanotin, PS mayor of Saint-Denis, threatening to disseminate some of his professional and personal data.
A month ago, the 43-year-old city councilor had indeed lost his mobile phone.
The mayor had kept the same number and reportedly recently started receiving late-night messages on his new smartphone.
He would then have understood that individuals had managed to penetrate his old laptop.
A coming judgment
In these messages, the respondents would have tried to blackmail the chosen one.
Mathieu Hanotin then immediately filed a complaint.
The investigation by the sub-directorate of the judicial police of Seine-Saint-Denis finally led to two arrests, on June 29.
The two indicted will soon be judged.
