[Regnum] On the night of May 28, French police officers carried out a large-scale operation, during which they detained about ten representatives of the Chechen diaspora, France 3 TV channel reported.
According to journalists, law enforcement officers carried out the operation in 12 cities, including Reims, Strasbourg and Toulouse. The names of the detainees have not been disclosed; they are suspected of having connections with Islamist groups.
It is reported that the most security forces acted in Reims, where raids took place in two areas, including one of the kebab shops. The detainees are suspected of creating an organized criminal group, murder, human trafficking and illegal arms trafficking.
As Regnum reported, in April a schoolboy who was planning to commit a terrorist attack during the Olympic Games was detained in France. According to law enforcement agencies, he said on social networks that he was going to die as a martyr. During the search, they found a document declaring allegiance to ISIS (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).
France's General Directorate of Internal Security in March called for the Paris Olympics opening ceremony to be abandoned to ensure the safety of spectators and athletes. The agency believes that there is a threat of mass terrorism in the country.
