Overview
- All four suspects from Thursday’s disturbance at the Philharmonie de Paris were placed under formal investigation and put under judicial supervision with bans on appearing in Paris and at performance venues.
- Prosecutors cited alleged offenses including endangering others, property damage by dangerous means, possession of incendiary products, organizing an undeclared protest, refusal of police identification procedures, and violence with use or threat of a weapon.
- The original incident forced a pause in the performance after two smoke flares were ignited inside the hall before the concert resumed following the removal of the disruptors.
- On Saturday, three pro‑Israel activists were detained on suspicion of insulting and assaulting public officials and one pro‑Palestinian supporter was arrested over antisemitic remarks after tensions flared outside the 19th‑arrondissement police station.
- The Philharmonie filed a complaint, the culture minister condemned the violence, and the interior minister said a dissolution dossier concerning Palestine Action France—reported to have claimed responsibility—is under examination.
