A confessional in the church Saint-Gilles de L’Ile-Bouchard (France) was burned and the organ was damaged on the 18th of September.
The initial analysis by forensic investigators reveals that the fire was likely intentionally set, rather than an accident. The case has been sent to the public prosecutor, and if confirmed, it would be charged as the crime of desecration.
