The mysterious tags of blue Stars of David in the Paris region are the subject of an in-depth investigation, with the appointment of an investigating judge to lead the investigations. The Paris prosecutor, Laure Beccuau, does not exclude the possibility that these tags were made at the request of a foreign person.
These tags were discovered on October 31, when blue Stars of David were stenciled on the walls of different buildings in Paris, as well as in the departments of Seine-Saint-Denis and Hauts-de-Seine. The Paris public prosecutor’s office has entrusted the capital’s territorial security with the investigation into this damage, described as “aggravated damage due to origin or religion”.
According to initial investigations, these tags were made by a man and a woman, in the company of a third person who took photos of the damage. The alleged perpetrators left France quickly after the events, which reinforces the suspicion of the possible involvement of a third foreign person in this affair.
The magistrate in charge of the investigation now wishes to deepen the investigations to determine the intention and anti-Semitic nature of these damages, taking into account the geopolitical context and its impact in France. Another avenue is also being studied, linked to an investigation into similar acts committed a few days earlier, where two individuals had been arrested and had indicated that they had acted on the orders of a third person.
It is therefore possible that this series of blue Star of David tags in the Paris region is the result of a concerted action, perhaps even ordered from abroad. The question of anti-Semitism and the geopolitical context is also taken into account in the investigation, in order to be able to characterize the intention of the perpetrators and to determine whether it is an isolated act or a larger phenomenon. .
This case legitimately arouses concern and indignation, and underlines the importance of fighting all forms of discrimination and prejudice. It is essential that justice sheds full light on this matter and that those responsible are identified and brought to justice. Society as a whole must remain vigilant and strongly condemn such acts, in order to preserve the fundamental values of tolerance and respect.
