A member of the conseil municipal of Montauban announced on Twitter that a police raid had taken place at the mairie. This appears to have aroused the wrath of the maire, Brigitte Bareges and a legal move led to the Tweet being removed. The matter is not said to be linked to previous investigations of the maire's affairs, but to communications contracts. The mairie has denied that the raid took place, but police confirm that they had seized computers and documents.
Reports say that the atmosphere around the mairie is very strained, with threats and even violence.
No doubt the matter will be cleared up one way or another, but meanwhile the mystery persists.
