The case was characterized by a lack of evidence that the defendants were planning a specific attack, and relied instead on interpretation of circumstantial evidence.[^https://web.archive.org/web/20250615210912/https://soutien812.blackblogs.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/1922/2023/11/CompteRenduProces_A4.pdf] For example:

- Libre Flot gained combat experience in Rojava, which was interpreted as an attempt to gain experience in order to carry out attacks in France.
- Libre Flot stole fertilizer from a store, intending to use it to create small explosives. The theft was interpreted as an attempt to obtain fertilizer without leaving traces.
- On two occasions, some of the defendants created small explosives from household or agricultural products, and detonated them in isolated areas where the explosions would not damage anything, which was interpreted as tests for possible future attacks (despite the defendants' claims that they were just doing it for fun).
- Some of the defendants participated in airsoft games, which were intepreted as paramilitary trainings.
- Handwritten notes of one of the defendants contained terms and phrases such as "weapons", "recruitment", "cleaning DNA", "incendiary device" and "are we ready for a comrade to be wounded or killed?", which were interpreted as indicative that the defendant was preparing an attack in France (despite the defendant's claims that the notes were about either airsoft or Rojava).
- In private conversations, some of the defendants made light-hearted, boasting comments such as "I want to burn all the banks, all the cops" and "if a police officer was on ground, honestly I would finish him off", which were interpreted as indicative of violent intentions.
- The defendants used secure digital communication tools, which was interpreted as indicative of "clandestine behavior".

Investigators bypassed the authentication of five encrypted hard drives found in raids:[^Private source.]

- One hard drive by using the very simple password "stopcigeo", which they presumably guessed.
- One hard drive by using a password they found on a post-it note under the computer containing the hard drive.
- One hard drive by using a password given to them in custody by the owner of the computer containing the hard drive.
- Two hard drives by using passwords they found in a text document on a previously decrypted hard drive.

> No matter what, we make and will continue to make mistakes in the battle against such strong oppressive mechanisms. Mistakes that will always "cost" more compared to the cops' mistakes which are "absorbed." We must weigh the situations again and ensure that the mistakes which happened once simply can not happen again. We must study and appreciate the accumulated experience of so many years and, taking into account the tendency to prepare for the battles which already took place and not for those that will come, let's be prepared and may luck be on our side...
