PARIS - A French anti-terror court convicted three people on Friday over a plan to attack President Emmanuel Macron after a trial that threw the spotlight on a radical far-right online group.
He was arrested on Nov 6, 2018, with three others in the eastern Moselle region. Police found a commando-style knife and an army vest in his car, as well as three firearms at his home. Bouyer’s lawyer, Ms Olivia Ronen, told reporters she regretted that the judges had not recognised that “this case was blown out of proportion, that there was no hard evidence to convict”.
The group was formed on Facebook in 2017 in the aftermath of several years of deadly Islamic militant attacks in France, including at the Charlie Hebdo magazine and the Bataclan concert hall in Paris.
