over ’ill-defined’ plan to carry out ’violent action’ against French president
Six people linked to the far-right were detained on Tuesday in connection with an allegedly violent plot against French President Emmanuel Macron, officials said.
The six, who were not identified, were picked up by anti-terrorism units in the eastern French regions of Moselle and Isere and the northern region of Ile-et-Vilaine, officials added.
The arrests followed reports of a possible plot involving "violent action" aimed at the president, a source close to the investigation said.
Prosecutors have launched an investigation into a "criminal terrorist association," a judicial source said.
"This investigation is looking into a plot, vague and ill-defined at this stage, involving violent action against the president of the republic," another official said.
