French authorities are investigating a series of arson and gun attacks at prisons, with suspicions pointing towards drug gangs retaliating against government crackdowns. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau believes the attacks are linked to drug-related violence, as gangs have targeted cars and a training center.

The government is pushing new legislation to combat drug trafficking and improve prison security, aiming to curb the influence of drug lords. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
