Source text - English Nantes cathedral fire: Church volunteer rearrested over arson
A church volunteer has been rearrested in connection with a fire that devastated the cathedral in the French city of Nantes.
A prosecutor quoted by Le Monde said the suspect - a Rwandan refugee who worked as a warden at the cathedral - had admitted causing the fire.
His lawyer told another newspaper that the man "bitterly regrets" his actions.
The fire destroyed the cathedral's 17th Century organ as well as historic stained-glass windows.
The 39-year-old volunteer, who has not been named, was initially detained for questioning after the blaze but then released without charge.
He had been in charge of locking up the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral the day before the fire on 18 July.
Le Monde said the man had been been questioned again on Saturday and that prosecutors had placed him in custody.
Prosecutor Pierre Sennès said that the suspect now admitted being responsible for the fire, according to Le Monde. Officials had previously said that the fire was believed to have been arson and had been started in three different places.
The man's lawyer, Quentin Chabert, was quoted by Ocean Presse as saying that his client regretted his actions, adding: "My client co-operated."
About 100 firefighters managed to stop the flames from destroying the main structure at the cathedral. French Prime Minister Jean Castex praised their "professionalism, courage and self-control".
The fire comes over a year after a blaze nearly destroyed Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
Translation - Portuguese Incêndio na catedral de Nantes: voluntário volta a ser detido por incêndio criminoso
Um voluntário da igreja foi detido novamente por associação com o incêndio que destruiu a catedral de Nantes, na França.
Segundo o diário francês Le Monde, um promotor afirmou que o suspeito — um refugiado ruandês que trabalhava como guarda na catedral — admitiu ter provocado o incêndio.
O advogado do suspeito declarou a outro jornal que o homem está “bastante arrependido” de seus atos.
Um órgão do século XVII e os vitrais históricos da catedral foram destruídos pelo incêndio.
O voluntário de 39 anos, cuja identidade permanece em sigilo, foi levado para interrogatório após o ocorrido, mas liberado sem acusações.
O ruandês era o responsável por trancar a Catedral de São Pedro e São Paulo de Nantes no dia anterior ao incêndio, 18 de julho.
O Le Monde afirmou que o homem foi interrogado novamente no sábado e colocado sob custódia.
O promotor Pierre Sennès informou que o suspeito agora admite responsabilidade pelo incêndio, de acordo com o Le Monde. Autoridades haviam anunciado previamente a suspeita de incêndio criminoso, com três focos iniciais.
Ao Ocean Presse, o advogado do ruandês, Quentin Chabert, afirmou que seu cliente se arrepende do ocorrido, complementando: “Meu cliente cooperou.”
O trabalho de cerca de cem bombeiros impediu que as chamas destruíssem a estrutura central da catedral. O Primeiro-ministro francês, Jean Castex, exaltou o “profissionalismo, coragem e autocontrole” dos profissionais.
O incêndio ocorre um ano após a Catedral de Notre Dame, em Paris, ter sido quase destruída pelo fogo.

I am a Spanish/English -> Brazilian Portuguese translator and proofreader, working with languages for more than five years.
I fell in love with languages after spending my late teenage years in Paraguay, where I learned Spanish. Being able to learn something new everyday was a very enriching experience. I decided to make my passion my career and got a degree in Spanish-Portuguese Translation.
During my college time I spent a year in Melbourne, Australia, dedicated to studying English, and came back with a CAE level C2. I was also given a scholarship to spend a semester in Murcia, Spain, studying Spanish and Translation.
To further my skills, I took a graduate course in English-Portuguese Translation, but I keep looking for ways to master this activity, because I believe we can always do better.
