Unknown persons sent a letter containing the plague virus to the French Ministry of Internal Affairs addressed to the head of the department, Gerald Darmanin. The French publication Le Figaro reported this on Sunday, July 28.

Experts analyzed the powder at the police nuclear, radiological, biological, chemical and explosives unit and found the presence of the plague virus in it.

The letter also contained racial slurs.

The contents of the letter were sent for another analysis, the final results are expected in the evening of July 29. The prosecutor’s office of Dijon has launched an investigation into this fact.
