The man was arrested shortly after 7 p.m. at the Hôtel du Département in Toulouse, on the sidelines of the round table “Freedom of expression: 10 years later, what remains of Charlie's spirit?”
The security agents of the Haute-Garonne departmental council must have broken out in a cold sweat. This Friday evening, as part of the commemorations of ten years against the Charlie Hebdo attack, the Haute-Garonne departmental council organized a round table at the community's headquarters on the theme “Freedom of expression: 10 years after Is there any spirit left in Charlie?”
According to our information, confirmed by a source within the community, shortly after 7 p.m., a man presented himself at the screening station, armed with a computerized invitation, but also with a revolver. On him, security agents found this weapon with a barrel loaded with at least five bullets. According to the first elements, these were blank bullets and the revolver could be a neutralized weapon. The individual, who is believed to be unknown to the police, was arrested and taken into police custody. Is he unbalanced? Did he have a religious or political motive? The investigation will have to determine this.
-For this round table, 350 other people were present on the Boulevard de la Marquette site to attend the discussions between Thibaut Bruttin, general director of “Reporters Sans Frontières”, and Antonio Fischetti, reporter at Charlie Hebdo since 1997.
