Yep, just got the news from a friend today, since I'm back in town for the holiday. Vital's right.
Also, it seems Christian was carrying quite a large amount of firearms and ammunition in the car as well.
He was released from prison for the day because he was moved to minimum security.
I heard about the French Legion part too... I would like to hear more about that part, as I do not know anything of the French Legion et al.
I didn't think to check the internet news at all... I trust the internet about as much as I trust the word of Bill Zebub from The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds.
