An investigation was opened for destruction of property by dangerous means and the national anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office took up the case because of the discovery of a “GCC” tag (Gjhuventu clandestina corsa, “Clandestine Corsican youth”) on the facade of the hangar targeted, said the Ajaccio prosecution.
“Several cars and equipment were destroyed in the fire”said the prosecution, confirming a break-in of the door of the hangar of the company specializing in the cabling of telephone networks, located in Sarrola-Carcopino on the outskirts of Ajaccio.
The alert was given at 12:15 a.m. Firefighters battled for more than three hours to put out the blaze and the scene was still under surveillance Sunday morning.
“The strong arm of a revolutionary movement”
The acronym “GCC”, which appeared in August 2022, was then found at the scene of a series of fires mainly targeting second homes, buildings under construction, construction companies and tourist establishments.
The creation of the clandestine group, presenting itself as “the armed wing of a revolutionary movement”was announced in a press release in February.
He then claimed responsibility for the arson of the town halls of Afa and Appietto, on the outskirts of Ajaccio, and of a house belonging to a deputy mayor of Ajaccio.
A new statement then caused confusion, claiming that GCC had been victimized “usurpers” having “claims” some of his actions, suggesting a possible split.
