The Paris prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into death threats against the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which was the target of a sophisticated terror attack in 2015.

Office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said Wednesday that the investigation for “written death threats” follows about a dozen postings in July and August on the paper’s Facebook page, which carried a cover cartoon mocking Muslims at the beach.

The investigation came after the newspaper filed a police complaint on Thursday, a shareholder said.

Eric Portheault told AFP the threats began in mid-July but mounted on Tuesday after the magazine released its latest edition. The threats “do not stop,” Portheault said.

Charlie Hebdo posted its latest cover on its Facebook page on Tuesday, of a bearded man and a veiled woman running naked on the beach, with the message “Musulmans… Dé-coin-cez-vous !” which loosely translates to “Muslims, free yourselves!”

“We cannot let threats, insults, racist statements come to pass. It’s unacceptable. Especially death threats. On August 10, we were told [there would be]’an attack in 20 days,’” Portheault said.
