According to the story published by Ouest-France on November 3, the events took place around 6 p.m. Several hooded men arrive by car near the accommodation, then allegedly tried to force entry twice. The occupant then grabbed a gun and fired through the window.
The attackers flee. According to the daily, they abandoned their vehicle on site, reported stolen. Alerted after the shots, the police intervened and arrested the man who fired the shots.
The prosecution initially opened an investigation for attempted murder. After 48 hours in police custody, the man was presented to a magistrate on Monday November 2. The facts are then reclassified as aggravated violence and possession of weapons and ammunition, reports the newspaper.
Placed in pre-trial detention pending his hearing, he must appear this Wednesday, November 4 before the criminal court of La Roche-sur-Yon, for immediate appearance. No record of the judgment has been found at the time of writing.
At this stage, the available elements do not specify either the motive of the attackers or their possible financial objective. The trail of cryptocurrencies remains a – credible – hypothesis reported by Ouest-France, because it would not be the first time that it has happened in France, far from it.
With a background in literature and languages, I like to combine rigorous analysis with a taste for ideas to decipher the major economic and (geo)political issues linked to cryptocurrencies. Since 2021, I have been writing for Journal du Coin where I focus on subjects such as Bitcoin, MNBC, the tokenization of RWA and more broadly the strategic mutations of Web3. A passionate reader, curious about the world and the power relationships that structure it, I strive to make these themes accessible to all, with particular attention to projects designed for the general public.
