Retired officer on trial for extremist anti-Semitic archive within Daillet conspiracy

In the 16th criminal chamber of Paris, Francis M., a 74-year-old retired military collector, is on trial for terrorist criminal association alongside members of Rémy Daillet’s conspiracy, which prosecutors tie to the 2021 kidnapping of eight-year-old Mia. The defendant’s personal collection, shown on a screen, includes a cash-register entry marked “piano juif” and a document describing a “Shoanite” condition, as well as folders organized by themes such as “négritude,” “gauchistes,” “merdes de Charlie,” “collabos,” and “juifs.”

He claims the archive is meant as a warning for future generations. In email correspondence with another accused, he calls Jews a “race de vipères sataniques.” A lengthy manuscript he authored accuses Jews of being a “stateless sect” that sparked the two European fratricidal wars and lauds the convicted Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson, calling him a professor who dared to breach the taboo surrounding the Shoah.
