The contents of the envelope were sent for more in-depth analysis.
A letter containing black powder was sent to French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, a preliminary analysis of which revealed a slight positive result for plague.
About This was reported on Sunday, July 28, by the French publication Le Figaro, citing the Dijon prosecutor's office, where the letter was intercepted.
The contents of the envelope were sent for more in-depth analysis to confirm or refute the initial results. The findings are expected on Monday, July 29.
“This could be a false positive,” noted the prefecture of Côte d'Or, which is conducting the investigation.
The publication emphasized that the plague is a very serious disease that is still raging in some countries in Africa, Asia and America. In France, the last cases of the disease were recorded in 1945 in Corsica.
The author of the suspicious letter has not yet been identified. It is known that in addition to the mysterious black powder, the envelope contained a letter of an offensive racial nature.
Recall that earlier, the Israeli Foreign Minister wrote to his French colleague Stéphane Sejourné that there was a threat of a terrorist attack during the Olympics that the Iranian authorities wanted to carry out.
