Story

Three people were let go on Monday after being held in custody for placing five coffins near the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The three individuals, from Bulgaria, Germany, and Ukraine, left the coffins covered with a French flag that had "French soldiers of Ukraine" written on it. This happened as Paris is getting ready for the Olympic Games. The officials wanted to charge them with planned violence, but the investigating judge decided to name them as assisted witnesses instead. They are now free while the investigation continues. The people involved in the incident at the Eiffel Tower included the driver of the vehicle that carried the coffins, a 39-year-old Bulgarian, along with a 25-year-old German man and a 16-year-old Ukrainian who was arrested on a bus. French authorities also recently charged an 18-year-old for planning an attack during the upcoming Olympic Games. This was the first known plot against the Games, which will start in eight weeks. The Eiffel Tower will play a significant role in the Olympics, with the Olympic rings being displayed on it and the medals containing iron from the monument. The appearance of the coffins near the Eiffel Tower follows other concerning incidents in France, such as graffiti on the Holocaust Memorial. French authorities have linked these incidents to Russian security services. The situation is being closely monitored by officials.
