Far-right officer in France arrested
French authorities have arrested a 35-year-old police officer on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack, based on concerns that he subscribes to an extreme and violent right-wing ideology. The officer, who was apprehended on a street last August, is believed to have been plotting to carry out violent assaults against state interests and to manufacture weapons using 3D printing technology, in addition to being involved in other criminal activities. The defendant faces charges related to planning a terrorist act, manufacturing or trafficking unlicensed weapons, belonging to a terrorist organization, and inciting terrorism through social media platforms. These developments come amid heightened security measures following the expulsion of the anti-immigration National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, of another police officer after video clips emerged showing racist comments. Meanwhile, Le Pen is preparing to run for the French presidency in the upcoming elections.
