# District Attorney of Paris:
This is obviously something we must take into account, and we are taking it into account, because when we look at the number of cases of this type of behavior that have occurred in the Paris area since October 2023, we have nine cases, nine cases in the Paris region, in Paris, in Paris and... a number of cases have been taken up by peripheral courts, but they have dismissed them because of the links they had with our cases.

It started with blue Stars of David, then red hands, then green paint was thrown. On the beds that were linked to “Made in Ukraine” because there was a mirage...From the coffin with wings where it was “Long live the soldier who died in Ukraine,” “Frenchman died in Ukraine,” and so on and so forth. So we had coffins that were placed on the Arc de Triomphe. Posters were recently displayed on the Arc de Triomphe. We had recently these pig's heads.

And the sponsors of these acts, are we able to trace the sponsors of these acts back to the perpetrators?

Some of the sponsors have been identified. Some of the are connected in different cases. So we are quite convinced that these events are acts of interference because they have similar attitudes in their modus operandi. They are people of foreign origin, some of whom come from Eastern Europe. For most of these cases, it seems to me. In a very short time. On French territory to carry out their actions. Sometimes, they take photos of their acts and send this to their foreign sponsors.

# District Attorney of Paris:
So why do we think it's sponsored foreign interference? Because in all of the cases with the exception of the last two I just mentioned, which are the most recent, we have identified those responsible for these acts. Many of them have been placed in custody. Some have even been extradited thanks to international cooperation, so we are identifying these sponsors and we know from them, because they say so themselves, that they have sponsors.
