A file which offers some explanations. Mohammed Mogouchkov, author of the Arras attack this Friday, which cost the life of a teacher and injured three other people, had recorded a protest video before taking action, according to information from CNews confirmed to Le Parisien this Tuesday.
In this extract, the 20-year-old Russian accused of Islamist radicalization claims his actions in the name of the Islamic State (IS) organization. He makes a “very marginal” allusion to the Hamas attack in Israel, a source close to the matter, but many other reasons are mentioned by the suspect, Le Parisien learned. Still according to our information, the video was filmed, but was not broadcast, for reasons that are unknown.
After 96 hours of police custody in the investigation opened by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) for assassination and attempted assassination, the suspect must be presented this Tuesday to an anti-terrorism investigating judge with a view to indictment . The national anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-François Ricard will hold a press conference this Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the Paris judicial court to provide an update on the investigation.
Justifications still awaited
Friday, around 11 a.m., Mohammed Mogouchkov, armed with a knife, went to his former establishment, the Gambetta-Carnot school complex. He fatally stabbed Dominique Bernard, a 57-year-old French teacher, then injured three other people before being arrested by a police patrol.
Mohammed Mogouchkov was followed by the DGSI “since the end of July”, according to Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, through wiretapping and physical surveillance measures.
He had been checked on Thursday, the day before the events, without “any offense being able to be blamed on him”, according to an intelligence source. During his custody, he “did not explain himself,” said a police source.
