The two men who had been arrested for violence against SOS Racisme activists during Éric Zemmour’s meeting in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis) were indicted for intentional violence.
Both were placed under judicial supervision. Two men suspected of being involved in the violence against SOS Racisme activists during the meeting in early December of far-right presidential candidate Éric Zemmour in Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis), have been indicted for willful violence , said the Bobigny prosecution on Thursday.
One of the defendants is the alleged leader of the ultra-right group the “Zouaves Paris” Marc de Cacqueray-Valmenier, 23, and the other a young man aged 18, said the prosecution.
During Éric Zemmour’s meeting, CCTV cameras and the work of the investigation services made it possible to identify several perpetrators of the violence. Eleven complaints were filed following the meeting by members of SOS Racisme.
Marc de Cacqueray-Valmenier is known to the courts. He has already been sentenced to a 6-month suspended prison sentence in January 2019 for violence committed during a demonstration of yellow vests on December 1, 2018.
The ultra-right group, the Zouaves Paris have been carrying out violent actions for several years. They particularly target places popular with anti-fascist movements, such as during the attack on a bar in Ménilmontant in June 2020. This Sunday, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, initiated dissolution proceedings against of this movement.
