How a child's kidnapping shone a light on an alleged plot to topple the French government
CNN
Armed with homemade explosives, fueled by conspiracy theories and fermented during the pandemic, French authorities say "The Overthrow" was a potentially dangerous creation.
According to documents seen by CNN from the DGSI, France's internal intelligence agency, the group was a far-right network with diverse ideological roots but a single unifying aim: To topple the French government.
The DGSI alleges that the mastermind behind the group was Rémy Daillet-Weidemann, a former regional councillor in France, who was "setting up a hierarchical structure whose objective was to overthrow the government" and attack the head of state.
