"No Target, No Identified Project" As Varg Vikernes Custody Extended

Police custody of Burzum mastermind Vark Vikernes has been extended. The police in France have also extended the custody of Vikernes wife, Marie Cachet , for an additional 24 hours.

The French Interior Minister Manuel Valls admitted that there was "no target, no identified project" but he justified the arrests by the necessity, in a terrorism investigation, "to act before and not after".

Vikernes has been under police surveillance for some time now. A preliminary investigation was launched by the anti-terrorism section of the Paris public prosecution office at the beginning of July after Cachet legally purchased four rifles. Cachet has a gun permit.

Vikernes was arrested yesterday morning at his farmhouse in France and police searched the premises for explosives and weapons.
