Operation Azul

Sources close to the investigation told broadcaster France Info that Mr Daillet allegedly used encrypted messaging to build a vast network of conspiracy theorists.

Over several months, Mr Daillet is suspected to have set up an underground organisation with several dozen members, France Info reported.

The broadcaster said the organisation appealed to anti-vaccine circles and neo-Nazi activists in eastern France.

For a project known as Operation Azul, 12 suspects are accused of plotting a series of attacks against Covid-19 vaccination centres, a masonic lodge, journalists and prominent people, sources told the AFP news agency.
