The mayor of Fameck, Michel Liebgott, has once again been targeted with a threatening letter containing white powder, leading to injuries for two deminers. The letter was received at the town hall on Thursday, September 3, while the mayor was away. His staff noticed something unusual about the letter's appearance and quickly alerted authorities. Inside, the letter contained a white powder and accused the mayor of being a "fundamentalist who supports radical Islam."
When deminers arrived to assess the threat, they used various reactive products to test the powder. However, one of the tests triggered a chemical reaction, causing an explosion. The incident resulted in injuries to both deminers—one sustaining facial injuries and the other injuring their hand. One of the injured was treated on-site by firefighters, while the other was transported to Bel-Air Hospital in Thionville for further care.
Michel Liebgott expressed his frustration, stating he is tired of the harassment and death threats he has faced. This incident marks the fifteenth suspicious letter he has received. The mayor plans to file a new complaint with the authorities. He has been the target of similar threats before—most notably in November of last year, when a letter containing powder and demanding that he "prepare for his big departure" was received at the town hall. At that time, the building was evacuated to ensure the safety of everyone present.
