Rima Hassan summoned again by the Paris judicial police this Friday

This Friday morning, Rima Hassan has been summoned again by the Paris judicial police. The LFI MEP must appear at the "Bastion," the headquarters of the judicial police, for questioning by the Brigade for the Repression of Crimes Against Persons (BRDP), according to a source close to the case cited by AFP, partially confirming information from TF1. Investigators insist this is a separate procedure from Thursday's, which led to her being taken into custody for "apology for terrorism" before being released late that evening.

One case closes, another opens

Between these two events, one detail ignited the controversy. During a search of her belongings while in police custody, officers discovered "the presence of substances resembling CBD on the one hand and 3MMC on the other," a synthetic drug, according to the Paris prosecutor's office, which specified that these items were "unrelated" and would be the subject of separate proceedings. Manuel Bompard, national coordinator of La France Insoumise, immediately denounced on Sud Radio this as "false information" intended to "smear" the elected official, asserting that she had "no drugs on her." In this type of case, everything hinges on the classification, analysis, and traceability, and politicians love to rush ahead of the judicial process.

The other aspect remains, the one that triggered the storm: Rima Hassan is summoned to appear in court on July 7 for "apology for terrorism" based on a post about X, according to information released on Thursday. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, appearing on BFMTV, defended the report filed by his department, deeming the message "serious" because it referenced Kozo Okamoto, one of the perpetrators of the 1972 Tel Aviv airport attack (26 dead), and asserting that there was "no vendetta."
