Hodei Ciarra Docampo, 34, was seized in a dawn raid by the RAID unit at his home in Val d'Issoire, 30 miles north of Limoges. Prosecutors name him the 'principal suspect' but say it is 'unlikely that he acted alone'. The listed 1883 building's roof and belfry collapsed in Saturday's blaze. He could face up to 20 years in jail if charged and convicted.

He is reportedly believed to belong to ultra-Left extremist groups.
