Supermarket robbery in Corsica

On October 19, a man wearing a balaclava and armed with a weapon entered a supermarket in Tavaco, South Corsica, and committed a theft before fleeing in a vehicle. To avoid being traced, he concealed the vehicle's license plates.

Gendarmes trace the suspect

However, the gendarmes were able to trace him despite this precaution. The investigation was handled by military personnel from the Ajaccio research brigade, who identified the suspect and initiated a search.

Suspect arrested by off-duty gendarme

The suspect was eventually tracked down by a mobile gendarme from the 15/7 squadron of Sarreguemines, who was currently deployed in Corsica. The soldier spotted the suspect's vehicle while off duty and provided investigators with several identification elements.

Legal proceedings begin

The suspect was then arrested and placed in custody. On Tuesday, October 27, he was brought before the Ajaccio prosecutor's office and is scheduled to be judged on Thursday, October 29, as part of an immediate appearance.

Political statements on Corsican autonomy

Jean-Martin Mondoloni stated, "To say that the Corsican right has gone to Paris to deconstruct the text is absolutely false and scandalous!" Regarding autonomy, the Autonomist Left commented, "the most archaic Jacobinism has triumphed."

Corsican identity in literature

In A maghjina - U Capicorsu vistu da a Cima di Stella, it was noted that "the tempu in Corsica" is a subject of discussion. Jean-Jacques Panunzi said, "It was not the right that tried to end the Beauvau process!"
