An international arrest warrant was issued on Tuesday against a figure of the conspiracy movement, who allegedly helped organize the kidnapping of an 8-year-old girl in France last week, a new twist in this case with multiple ramifications.
This arrest warrant issued by a French judge and which targets Rémy Daillet “was taken in the light of several elements, including the hearings of some of the people placed in police custody and indicted”, specifies in a press release the prosecutor of Nancy (est) François Pérain.
“In view of these elements, Rémy Daillet appears as the main animator of the + movement + within the framework of which the accused are registered”, adds the magistrate. Rémy Daillet would have “played a role in the organization of the kidnapping and would thus have provided the contact details of the caregiver of the mother and the child in Neuchâtel”, in Switzerland.
According to the newspaper Le Parisien, Rémy Daillet, 54 years old and a former executive of the centrist party Modem, has lived in Malaysia for several years. Excluded from the centrist party in 2010, he has since become a figure of the conspiracy movement in France.
In one of his videos, he defends the idea of a popular coup against a backdrop of dramatic music, asserting that when he is in power he will abolish almost all taxes, cancel the wearing of the mask “scientifically useless. And dismantle 5G. It also intends to ban “aerial spraying, called + chem trails +”, a reference to condensation trails left by planes in the sky.
Rémy Daillet also wants to “stop the abusive placements of children”, an argument to which Lola Montemaggi, the mother of little Mia, would have been sensitive.
The 8-year-old girl was kidnapped last Tuesday at her mother’s request by several men while she was staying with her maternal grandmother in a village in eastern France.
Her mother was no longer allowed to see her alone or to speak to her on the phone.
A kidnapping alert was quickly disseminated and significant police resources, in France and in several border countries, made it possible to find her on Sunday morning with her mother in Switzerland, in a squat in the commune of Sainte-Croix, in the canton of Vaud. They had previously passed through Estavayer-le-Lac, in the canton of Friborg, and Neuchâtel.
“The mother did not intend to stop in Switzerland,” François Pérain told the daily Le Figaro. “The final destination had to be Russia”.
The little girl was handed over to her grandmother who has custody of her on Monday.
The five men who organized her kidnapping are being prosecuted for “kidnapping in an organized gang of a minor (under) fifteen years old and criminal association”. Four of them were taken into custody.
They claim to be part of the anti-system movement and, to kidnap the little girl, had presented her grandmother with falsified letterhead papers from the Ministry of Justice, posing as representatives of child protection. .
The kidnapping was designed “as a military-type operation”, with even a code name – “Operation Lima” -, explained Mr. Pérain on Sunday.
The five suspects “met via social networks and share the same community of ideas,” the magistrate had further noted. “They are against the State and mobilized against what they call the health dictatorship”.
Four of them, aged 23 to 60 and without a criminal record, were arrested Wednesday and Thursday in and around Paris, as well as in eastern France. A fifth 43-year-old man was arrested in the east on Friday.
Lola Montemaggi, as well as a French national who helped her in Switzerland, are in detention in the canton of Vaud pending extradition proceedings.
