This is a French TV interview with Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau about the judicial response to the post-PSG disorder in Paris. She says the Paris prosecutor’s office has handled 256 police custody cases, with about 82 extensions for the most serious files, and that 11 cases were already headed to immediate hearings that afternoon, mostly for violence against police or looting-related offenses. Her central message is that the parquet is pursuing a harder, more targeted response than in prior years, including using less-common charges and continuing to identify people from video evidence.

The interview centers on the prosecutor’s office response to the Paris disturbances linked to PSG celebrations, with Laure Beccuau presenting a firmly punitive approach. She says the Paris parquet has already processed 256 garde à vue, with roughly 82 extensions reserved for the most serious matters. Those extensions, she explains, correspond to files needing further questioning, confrontations, or investigative steps, while simpler cases are resolved quickly in the first 24 hours. Beccuau also says that at least 11 cases were scheduled for immediate hearings that afternoon, mostly involving violence against police, including use of mortars or thrown projectiles, plus some property offenses and thefts with violence. She stresses that her office has mobilized additional court capacity if needed and that the policy is one of firmness, rejecting any “excuse” for this behavior. …
Near term, the actionable issue is judicial follow-through: the first immediate hearings and sentences will set the tone for how seriously the disorder is being treated.
Over the next few weeks, the key question is whether the parquet’s tougher charge selection and video-led identification produce materially heavier outcomes than last year.
Longer term, the interview points to a more traceable and deterrence-focused public-order regime in which camera and phone evidence make anonymity harder and post-event accountability more likely.

Les peines encourues ont-elles changé depuis que Gérald Darmanin les estimait insuffisantes l'an dernier ?
La procureure répond que les peines sont toujours les mêmes car la loi n'a pas évolué. Elle explique avoir donné instruction de retenir une incrimination rarement utilisée, l'acte d'intimidation à l'égard des forces de l'ordre, qui fait encourir jusqu'à 10 ans d'emprisonnement, visant ceux qui s'interposent pour empêcher les interpellations.
Quel est le profil démographique des personnes interpellées ?
La procureure confirme qu'il y a peu de femmes (proportion infinitésimale), que le plus jeune est né en 2012, et qu'elle ne peut pas répondre pour le plus âgé.
