LOOK. This happened on Monday night in Brussels
The man in question was arrested during an operation by the intervention units in the Malakoff district, in the east of the city. It is believed that he, like three other individuals, received a video directly from the terrorist. According to BFMTV “a few minutes before the latter started his murder spree”. In that video, Lassoued would have already claimed responsibility for his act. The suspect arrested in Nantes is said to be of Tunisian origin, just like Lassoued.
According to ‘Ouest-France’ – which was the first to report the news – the French authorities were asked by the Belgian justice system to arrest the man. No firearms were reportedly found during his arrest, but authorities reportedly seized IT equipment.
The federal public prosecutor’s office in Belgium does not comment on the message. The public prosecutor’s office announced on Tuesday that a search had been launched for one other person after Lassoued was shot dead by the police.
