Lawyer Virginie de Araujo-Recchia was the French lawyer on Reiner Fuellmich’s Grand Jury team investigating COVID-19 crimes against humanity. She was arrested at her home early Tuesday, March 22, 2022. Her precise whereabouts were initially unknown.
The arrest came as Fuellmich’s international Grand Jury investigation was gaining momentum, presenting testimony from medical experts, economists, and legal professionals alleging coordinated criminal activity in the global response to COVID-19.
The timing of the arrest — targeting a key lawyer on an investigation into powerful institutions — raised immediate concerns about whether it was connected to her work on the Grand Jury.
Fuellmich himself was later arrested in Mexico and extradited to Germany on fraud charges unrelated to his COVID work — though supporters claim the charges were manufactured to silence him. The pattern of legal harassment targeting COVID critics has been documented across multiple jurisdictions.
The silencing of lawyers, doctors, and journalists who challenge the official COVID narrative demonstrates that the machinery of censorship built during the pandemic remains fully operational.
