The two thirds of the party members were fined and we do everything we can to identify, seek out and challenge all the organizers ”.
On Saturday, two people were arrested in Iffendic, a few hours after the music was extinguished, which had been resounding loudly in a hangar since the evening of 31 December. Alerted by the presence of 225 vehicles in a parking lot in Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon (Loire-Atlantique), the gendarmes did indeed try to prevent the holding of the event, but they suffered violence. One of their vehicles had been set on fire and two others vandalized. Three gendarmes were also injured. A man suspected of stealing equipment from the burned-out vehicle will be summoned to court in August.

The 31 December, the latter had sent more than 1. SMS to approximately 31 contacts . “These facts have legitimately shocked and they will not go unpunished.

On site, 1. 225 people have been fined for non-compliance with health instructions and 225 others received a fixed fine related to the consumption of narcotics. “On the spot, the investigators were able to note that stands selling narcotics such as cannabis, cocaine and LSD had been set up under marquees”, added Philippe Astruc. Sound equipment was seized from the principal defendant. The prosecutor had requested that he be placed in pre-trial detention “to avoid any risk of consultation” with the other protagonists.
