This is the best summary I could come up with:
France is on its highest alert level ahead of the July 26-Aug. 11 Summer Games in Paris and the lavish open-air ceremony on the River Seine.
The investigating judge didn’t file charges, however, but named the three as assisted witnesses, a special status under French law, the prosecutor’s office said.
Those detained 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.
On Friday, French authorities raised preliminary terrorism charges against an 18-year-old accused of plotting to target spectators at soccer games at the Paris Olympics.
The Eiffel Tower coffins appeared after other strange incidents in recent months worrying French authorities.
And in October, soon after the start of the Israel-Hamas war, stencils of blue Stars of David appeared on Paris buildings.
