Merah case: 6 women from the terrorist’s entourage arrested in Toulouse and Albi
Ten years after the terrorist attacks in Toulouse and Montauban, a wave of arrests took place on Tuesday, October 4, concerning people around Mohammed Merah.
Six women close to Mohamed Merah’s family were arrested on Tuesday (October 4th) in Toulouse as part of an investigation by the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat), which suspects them of having stayed in Syria in 2013 and 2014, said a judicial source to AFP, confirming information from European 1. Five of them were arrested at their homes in the Toulouse region and a sixth presented herself to the police station, according to a source familiar with the matter.
According notOur colleagues, the RAID assisted the operation because several profiles were described as “sensitive” and “big fish”. They are suspected of having stayed in Syria, of which they have already been suspected and of facts which they have already disputed. The new elements included the opposite.
These women arrested would have been very suspicious about potential eavesdropping and spinning, according to the investigation. The six suspects were taken into custody.
