Three individuals have been released from custody pending further investigation after allegedly placing five coffins at the base of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a city gearing up to host the upcoming Olympic Games. The trio, hailing from Bulgaria, Germany, and Ukraine, positioned the coffins, draped with a French flag bearing the inscription 'French soldiers of Ukraine,' near the iconic Eiffel Tower on Saturday.
The motive behind this act remains unclear. With France currently on high alert in anticipation of the Summer Games scheduled from July 26 to August 11, the incident has raised concerns. The individuals were questioned by an investigative judge on Monday, with the prosecutor's office recommending charges of premeditated violence due to the psychological impact caused by placing coffins at a popular tourist spot like the Eiffel Tower.
