  • Rémy Daillet, accused of plotting a far-right coup and kidnapping Mia, will face trial with 14 others starting September 15.
  • Daillet allegedly led a clandestine organization from Malaysia aiming to destabilize France.
  • He was previously jailed in connection with the 2021 abduction of Mia as part of a broader anti-vaccine operation.

Rémy Daillet, accused of orchestrating a far-right coup plot and the kidnapping of a young girl named Mia, is set to stand trial alongside 14 co-defendants beginning September 15. Daillet, described as the leader of a "delusional clandestine organization," allegedly operated from Malaysia with the goal of destabilizing France. His alleged activities came to light following the 2021 abduction of Mia, an event that became part of a larger operation linked to anti-vaccine sentiments.

The charges against Daillet and his associates encompass a range of serious offenses, including conspiracy and involvement in organized crime. The investigation revealed a complex network allegedly aiming to disrupt the French state. Daillet's alleged role as a spiritual leader or "guru" within this organization is central to the prosecution's case.

Authorities apprehended Daillet after he was located abroad, leading to his extradition and subsequent detention. The kidnapping of Mia, a minor, was a particularly high-profile aspect of the case, drawing significant media attention and public concern. The connection to anti-vaccine movements suggests a potential ideological motivation behind the group's actions, although the full scope of their objectives remains under judicial scrutiny.

The upcoming trial is expected to shed further light on the intricate details of the alleged plot and the extent of Daillet's involvement. The proceedings will aim to establish the veracity of the charges and determine the culpability of each of the 15 individuals facing trial.
