E-mailPARIS (Reuters) - French prison officers and detention centres were again targeted overnight, Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Monday, following a string of unclaimed attacks on prisons last week.
Authorities have said that drug traffickers are most likely behind an unprecedented wave of attacks against French prisons, though foreign influence and the far-left have also been mentioned, but no arrests have been made.
"There were no injuries, but these acts constitute intimidation against the Republic." Darmanin said in a statement on X.
