In the opening days of 2021, a child named Mia was taken on 1 January 2021. No further details about the location or the perpetrators are supplied, but the event became the central fact around which the later investigation turned. The child’s mother, Lola Montemaggi, is identified as the parent of the kidnapped girl.
Rémy Daillet is described in the material as a complotist and as a far‑right group leader. He headed a groupuscule d’ultradroite. The case involved fifteen defendants, among them Daillet and his supporters, indicating a broader network of individuals drawn into his orbit.
One source specifies that the network of extremists was manipulated by Daillet during the pandemic, placing the radicalisation effort within the timeframe of the COVID‑19 crisis.
On 15 October 2026, the Paris judicial court handed down its decision.
The court found Daillet guilty of plotting a coup d’état. Multiple sources and claims describe the aim as overthrowing the government, and tie the plot to conspiracy theories about child abduction.
During the proceedings, the court acknowledged a psychiatric assessment that indicated altered discernment on Daillet’s part. This factor was noted by the judges but did not lead to an acquittal. Additionally, the National Anti‑Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office had recommended a seven‑year sentence, reflecting the gravity with which the authorities viewed the alleged conspiracy.
On 15 October 2026, the Paris judicial court handed down its decision. Rémy Daillet was sentenced to six years in prison, and the court ordered his continued detention. The same day, the sentence was formally handed down to Daillet and to the other defendants involved in the case.
Lola Montemaggi, identified as the mother of the kidnapped child, received a two‑year prison term with eighteen months suspended. She will not return to prison because she has already served time in pre‑trial detention. One source adds that she was ordered to provide care.
As of the sentencing date of 15 October 2026, Rémy Daillet remains incarcerated serving his six‑year term, while Lola Montemaggi is free under the suspended sentence arrangement. The sentencing concluded the proceedings.
