PARIS – Five coffins covered by a French flag and the writing «French soldiers from Ukraine» were placed on Saturday morning around 9am in front of the Eiffel Tower, on Quai Branly.

They risk three years in prison and a 45,000 euro fine for a qualified gesture of «psychological violence».

After analyzing the phone of one of the three arrested, contacts with another Bulgarian citizenthe 34-year-old man accused of having the wall of the Righteous of the Shoah memorial was vandalised on the night between May 13th and 14th, with Handprints with red paint, which evoke the blood-red hands displayed during pro-Palestine demonstrations. This episode had already been linked to the stars of David painted with blue paint in many arrondissements of Paris in October 2023: on that occasion the action was carried out by four Moldovan citizens on behalf of a Moldovan businessman, Anatoli Prizenko, considered close to power in Russia.
