The French national had been charged with multiple offences, including criminal conspiracy and plotting to sabotage infrastructure such as power lines and thermal plants.

Several other suspects, including a Malagasy army officer, were charged with the alleged plot. The coup was planned for April 18.

Prosecutors say the plot, allegedly organised through a WhatsApp group, included plans for power cuts, inciting security forces, and mobilising unrest.
