Moins de trois jours après l’incendie criminel qui a ravagé la mairie de Limoges (Haute-Vienne), classée au patrimoine historique, un suspect a été interpellé mardi aux aurores à Val d’Issoire par le RAID de Bordeaux, a-t-on appris de sources concordantes.

Selon une source policière, «Il s’agit d’un activiste d’ultragauche déjà fiché S».

Âgé de 40 ans et originaire de la Creuse, il est également connu des autorités, notamment pour des faits de «violences sur personne dépositaire de l’autorité publique». Contactée, la procureure de Limoges confirme l’interpellation du suspect sans plus de détails à ce stade.

Samedi, l’hôtel de ville de «la ville rouge» a été attaqué en marge d’une manifestation contre la vie chère, qui avait rassemblé environ 5500 personnes selon les autorités. En fin de rassemblement, des individus très organisés et déterminés ont pris pour cible le bâtiment inauguré en 1883 en s’y infiltrant par les caves puis en déclenchant un feu qui s’est rapidement propagé dans les combles.
