> The guy who is presumed to be the murderer is an ex-intelligence officer

There's a "he resigned two weeks ago" meme in Russia. Every time a police officer or someone else from the government is caught red-handed committing a crime, it "turns out" they have allegedly resigned a few weeks prior to the incident. It seems Putin's regime is not an aberration, they're trailblazers.

Except the guy was working for the DCRI, which has turned into the DGSI since 2014. So it has been out of the police forces for at least 10 years. Not a few weeks ago.

You can find a lot of information on french media, like https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/reseau-franc-macon-de...

What would be more concerning is that current member of the DGSE were planning a murder (in the same article). But then again, they were arrested, and this is why we know what likely happened to Pasquali. This is not Russia where the FSB can run wild.

Finally, I do find it strange to argue with a brand new account who basically just post to defend Telegram.

Why do you find it strange? Do you consider self compilation of a dossier on yourself a healthier practice?
