[9] Although convicted, he was permitted to continue teaching mathematics at a Honfleur, Normandy high school until 1997, when he was suspended after he was "found to be using the school computer to file documents denying the Holocaust and the fax machine to send the writings to his followers" and "giving his students statistical equations regarding the rate of mortality in Nazi concentration camps".
[7] In the fall of 2000, Reynouard affiliated himself with the Vrij Historisch Onderzoek, a Belgian Holocaust denial and Nazi-sympathizer group.
At the time, Reynouard was being investigated by French authorities, and he had chosen to go into exile in Belgium, where he took up residence with a Catholic fundamentalist group in Ixelles, Brussels with close ties to the Society of Saint Pius X.
At the time of his arrest, Reynouard was living under a false identity in Anstruther, where he had reportedly been working as a private tutor.
