The cars have set up Bone about several prisons in France, while one was attacked with automatic shots, in possible reprisals against government anti -drug policies, they said on Tuesday, April 15. In Bruno Rustlala intensify the fight against narcotics and drug -related crime.

“All this seemed to have a coordinated leg and is clearly linked to the anti-drug gang strategy” introduced by Darmanin, a source close to the matter of the issue of Agite France-Press (AFP) after the incidents recorded during the night from Monday to Tuesday.

“The Republic faces drug trafficking and is taking measures that will seriously interrupt criminal networks,” Darmanin himself said in X, promising a “firm and brave” government response. According to the union of prison personnel for justice, “the vehicles were burned, the prison doors set fire and even attacked with heavy weapons.”

Three vehicles, including two belonging to prison staff, were set on fire in the parking lot of Vilepinte’s prison to the north of Paris, said a police source. A fuel boat was found on the site, and CCTV images showed two people burning cars. The cars parked outside three other prisons, one near Paris and two in southern France, were also set on fire, said another police source.

In a prison in Toulon, on the southern coast of France, 15 impacts were found in the main door after an attack with an assault weapon of “Kalashnikov type,” said Justice. In a prison in the nearby AIX, two vehicles were set on fire and the door of the Local Surveillance Unit of the Eris prison was damaged, the union added. During the night from Sunday to Monday, the fires had already been established in the parking lots of a training center for prison and a prison near Paris, several sources said.

“These criminal acts are a complete attack against our institution, in the Republic and the staff that serves the Republic every day,” said Fouse, asking for a “strong and clear response from the government.” Wilfried Fonck, National Secretary of UFAP Ansa Justice, another union, told AFP that the prison system did not have enough personnel to ensure imprisonment “24/7”.

Anarchist slogans were found in some of the attack sites, and the police maintain all open investigation lines, said a source close to the case.
