An investigation was opened, Wednesday, after the reception, at the synagogue of Béziers (Hérault), of an anonymous letter of threats, against the Jewish community, the mayor Robert Ménard (various right) and his wife , the deputy Emmanuelle Ménard (various right), learned 20 minutes at the Béziers public prosecutor’s office.
The investigations relate to “threats of crimes against people because of race, ethnicity, nation or religion” and “death threats against elected officials”.
Complaints
They continue in another prosecution, which was not specified by the prosecutor of Béziers, Raphaël Balland, to preserve the investigation. The National Antiterrorist Prosecutor’s Office is informed of these facts, but has not considered it necessary, so far, to take cognizance of them.
This is the threatening letter received yesterday morning at the synagogue in # Beziers. This is what it costs right-wing elected officials to always stand alongside the Jewish community in the face of anti-Semitism. The Jewish community of Béziers, Emmanuelle and I filed a complaint. pic.twitter.com/BpDQhT3eVR
