[Regnum] Police in France detained an 18-year-old Chechen, accusing him of preparing a terrorist attack at the Olympic Games in Paris. Reuters reported this on May 31.
“Preliminary data indicate that he was planning an attack on the Geoffroy Guichard stadium during football matches that will be held there during the Olympics,” the publication quoted the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic, Gerald Darmanin.
It is reported that the young man was detained. According to security officials, he was inspired by Islamist ideology and wanted to die a martyr's death during a terrorist attack. The name of the accused was not released.
The Geoffroy Guichard Stadium is located in Saint-Etienne. It is planned to host six football matches during the 2024 Olympic Games. The stadium's capacity is about 40 thousand people.
As Regnum reported, in April a schoolboy who was planning to commit a terrorist attack during the Olympic Games was detained in France. According to law enforcement agencies, he said on social networks that he was going to die as a martyr. During the search, they found a document declaring allegiance to ISIS (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).
The suspect was charged with terrorist conspiracy and remains in pretrial detention.
He was not previously known to authorities. His brother, a minor, was arrested at the same time but later released.
The man is accused of planning a ‘’violent action’’ on behalf of the Islamic State group’s jihadist ideology, the national counterterrorism prosecutor’s office said in a statement Friday. The man, who was not identified, is behind held in custody pending further investigation.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said in a statement that members of the General Directorate of Internal Security arrested an 18-year-old man from Chechnya on May 22 on suspicion of being behind a plan to attack soccer events that will be held in the southern city of Saint-Etienne.
