The question fell this Tuesday, July 11 at the end of the afternoon during the press briefing of the public prosecutor of Digne-les-Bains. “Is the far-right militant past of the parents studied?” Asked a journalist. Magistrate Rémy Avon had dodged. “All the hypotheses, all the frameworks have been studied. I will not enter into the framework of an investigation covered by secrecy, but we do not prohibit any investigation, local or broader. Everything is investigated without restriction.Le Vernet, Tuesday July 11: the prosecutor takes stock.
“Very disturbing profile”
A few hours earlier, on Twitter, Ségolène Royal had publicly pointed to the profile of Émile’s father: “The mother auditioned only on Tuesday? And the father, with a very disturbing profile? So we did not look at the hypothesis of “a problem or a family revenge? A kidnapping? Why the kidnapping alert is still not triggered? “A publication which had immediately triggered a wave of criticism from Internet users, indignant that shame can thus be cast on the parents of a missing child.
Ultrastraight
What is it exactly? What are the journalist, the public prosecutor and Ségolène Royal referring to? What does “this far-right militant past” of the parents correspond to? This “very disturbing” profile of the father?
Aged 26, the father of Émile, an engineer in Marseille, presents a troubled political past revealed this Thursday, July 13 by our colleagues from La Dépêche du midi. His commitment to the ultra-right Bastion social movement in Marseille would have earned him an appearance in May 2018 before the Aix-en-Provence criminal court, suspected of having molested a couple of North African origin with three other people. . For the benefit of the doubt, he was acquitted. In 2021, during the regional elections of 2021, he had been a candidate for the regional elections for the Bouches-du-Rhône on the list “Zou!”, “the list that will get rid of the system”, led by Valérie Laupiès, ex- National rally.
Withdrawn attitude
Émile’s mother, the eldest of 10 siblings, a discreet and very practicing Catholic family “who goes to mass twice a day” according to a resident met on Tuesday at Vernet, has, meanwhile, launched a mysterious appeal to prayer widely relayed on social networks: “Please pray to the venerable sister Benoîte Rencurel, mystic of the Laus apparitions. The devil regularly took her to the mountains to persecute her and the angels brought her back. Émile’s mother“. A couple of atypical parents, who have never appeared in the media since the disappearance of the child on Saturday afternoon, and whose attitude, very withdrawn, feeds the rumours.
On the ground, the raking organized at Vernet ended this Thursday, July 13 around 4 p.m. In total, 97 hectares were the subject of a search, according to the public prosecutor of Digne-les-Bains. The authorities are now moving to a new phase of the investigation, with the processing of all the information collected. Accident, homicide, kidnapping? “All the hypotheses” remain studied by the prosecution.
