Early morning raids in multiple French cities led to the arrest of suspects connected to a series of attacks on prison officers. President Macron emphasized the need to find and punish the attackers, following violent incidents near prisons. Justice Minister Darmanin thanked law enforcement for their swift action, while Interior Minister Retailleau commended the professionalism of the investigators. The group behind the assaults, DDPF, has been active on Telegram, though their actions have drawn parallels to both organized crime and far-left movements.
President Emmanuel Macron had vowed the attackers would be 'found, tried and punished' after days of incidents around French jails, with one sprayed with automatic gunfire.
A group calling itself the DDPF, claiming to defend the rights of French prisoners, has been targeting prison facilities and officers over the past two weeks, posting videos and threats on the encrypted messaging service Telegram.
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau congratulated the investigators, praising their 'great professionalism' which 'made it possible to achieve results in a very short time.'
