French newspaper Le Parisien said the GID foiled a coup planned by the former deputy of the far - right political democracy movement MoDem, Remy Dayet.

She highlighted that the French authorities had placed Daïe, a far-right figure, in pre-trial detention on suspicion of involvement in planning a coup d'état and violence.

Daïe, 55, had been charged on 22 October with terrorism. The investigations revealed "an alarming coup d'état aimed at taking over the Elysée Palace, with the help of many supporters of Daïe and a large paramilitary organization."

For its part, France Tifi Info revealed that Daïe's scheme was described as "secret," called "Operation Azure" and was "highly organized."

According to the source of "Close to File," the idea of the scheme arose about a year ago, at a time when France was resisting a health crisis caused by the fallout from the Corona virus.

He continued: "Dayeh was leading Operation Azure from his home in Malaysia, where he formed a secret organization of dozens of people to participate in his project."

The secret organization included "civilians and military personnel with real weapons and a recruitment plan." The military team is headed by two soldiers from the French army. "

He added: "Operation Azure was disturbing, although no date was set for the day of the coup."

Frans Tevé Anvo said that investigations were continuing on charges of "forming a terrorist criminal association," adding that those arrested might also be pursued on charges of "threatening State security."
