Intelligence officials believe that Russia is behind the placement of the coffins, which were draped in the French flag and bore the inscription "Soldats français morts en Ukraine (French soldiers who died in Ukraine)."
The driver, who used a Ford van to transport the coffins, was caught by police at the Alma Bridge near the Eiffel Tower. The driver stated that he was paid 40 euros to transport the coffins and that he had arrived in Paris from Bulgaria one day earlier.
ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR BERLIN...
The other two individuals who organized the act were caught at the Bercy bus terminal while preparing to board a bus to Berlin. According to French media, these individuals stated that they were paid 400 euros to leave the coffins in the area.
It was announced that the driver is a Bulgarian citizen, while one of the other two individuals is a Ukrainian citizen and the other is a German citizen.
IS RUSSIA INVOLVED?
Authorities are investigating whether the incident was "organized from abroad."
Following Hamas's October 7 attack, Stars of David were spray-painted on some walls in Paris. French authorities had arrested a Moldovan couple whom they believed were paid by Russian intelligence.
