The return to calm seems to be confirmed, day following day. A week following the death of Nahel, 17, killed by a police officer during a road check in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), 16 people were arrested on the night of Tuesday July 4 to Wednesday July 5, including seven in Paris and in the inner suburbs, according to figures communicated by the Ministry of the Interior on Wednesday morning.
After several days of riots, no major incident has been reported, apart from 116 outbreaks of fire recorded on the public highway. Eight buildings were also set on fire or degraded and 78 vehicles caught fire, specifies the ministry in its daily count. Some 45,000 police and gendarmes were mobilized last night. None were injured, according to the ministry.
Nationally, in one week, 3,625 people were taken into police custody, including 1,124 minors. Among them, 990 were brought to justice and 380 imprisoned.
