French prosecutors said that three men have been placed under an investigation on suspicion they committed “psychological violence' at the Eiffel Tower.
Three men are under investigation in France on suspicion of committing 'psychological violence,' prosecutors said Monday, after they allegedly placed five coffins at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, a Paris landmark that will feature prominently in the upcoming Olympic Games.
Placing coffins at the foot of the Paris landmark that millions of tourists visit every year, 'is considered an act of psychological violence,' they said. It caused employees of the landmark and others 'an inability to work,' the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of a pending investigation. The motive for the incident was unclear.
Those arrested in the Eiffel Tower incident include the driver of the vehicle that transported the coffins, a 39-year-old Bulgarian, as well as two people associated with him — a 25-year-old German man and a 16-year-old Ukrainian, who was arrested aboard a Paris-Berlin bound Flixbus, the officials said. The Olympic rings will be displayed on the Eiffel Tower.
