Attaque de Condé-sur-Sarthe : ce que l'on sait de Michaël Chiolo, le détenu radicalisé qui a poignardé deux surveillants
Attack on Condé-sur-Sarthe: what we know about Michaël Chiolo, the radicalized prisoner who knifed two prison guards.
A radicalized detainee stabbed two supervisors Tuesday morning, causing them serious injuries. He was arrested by the Raid at the end of the day. Converted to Islam in 2010, this former marginal was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sequestration followed by death and was considered very dangerous by psychiatric experts.
Two seriously injured: this is the outcome of the attack on the ultra-secure prison of Alençon/Condé-sur-Sarthe on Tuesday, which was immediately taken over by the Paris anti-terrorist prosecutor's office. At the origin of this tragedy: Michaël Chiolo, a radicalized prisoner who was serving a 30-year sentence of criminal imprisonment, was finally arrested by the Raid at the end of the day. He was slightly injured. His partner, with whom he had taken refuge, died as a result of her injuries.
Michaël Chiolo, 27, a common-law prisoner, is considered "radicalized in prison", according to a police source. Monitored by prison intelligence and included in the Terrorist Prevention and Radicalization Index (FSPRT). However, he was not detained in the radicalized wing that was opened in September, according to FO.
Born in Moselle on July 11, 1991, Michaël Chiolo was an "intelligent, highly educated" boy, without any training or profession, who " became a bit of a vagrant " after having cut off ties with his family, according to his former lawyer, Me Pauline Brion,
According to the investigation, he has been desocialized since the age of 17 and fleeing his home when he was arrested in April 2012 for the murder of Roger Tall, a former resistance fighter whose safe-deposit box he was after.
With an accomplice, originally from Saint-Avold (Moselle), he was sentenced in December 2015 on appeal to Nancy for having suffocated this 89-year-old man, a former railwayman who had survived the Nazi camps. The latter had been kidnapped and "mummified" at his home near Metz in 2012.
According to the psychiatrist expert, Michaël Chiolo presents a "severe dissociative personality disorder", on which psychotherapies have "no effect". "Risk of major violent recurrence" and "great dangerousness", he notes.
Converted to Islam in 2010 under the name of Abdel-Karim, the detainee was serving a criminal sentence for arrest, kidnapping, forcible confinement followed by death and robbery with a weapon, and one year's imprisonment for public apology of terrorist acts. He was eligible for release in 2038.
In November 2015, while already incarcerated in Mulhouse awaiting his appeal judgment, Michaël Chiolo was sentenced to one year in prison for condoning terrorist acts. He had mimicked the attacks that killed 129 people in Paris and Saint-Denis by chanting "Bataclan" in the courtyard of the prison. About twenty detainees took part in this fateful game, but Michaël C. was considered as the leader, notably because of the influence he exerts on his fellow inmates according to the supervisors.
According to Me Pauline Brion, he met his partner "in prison and they were planning to get married". "He had written to someone after his conversion to find him a wife," she told AFP.
