A recent investigation has uncovered that foreign nationals were responsible for placing pig heads outside nine mosques in Paris, a deliberate act intended to provoke unrest. The suspects, whose identities remain undisclosed, quickly left France following the incident, according to the Paris Prosecutor's Office.
The discovery was substantiated by a Normandy farmer who reported selling a dozen pig heads to two individuals with a vehicle bearing Serbian number plates. CCTV footage corroborated this account, capturing the suspects arriving in Paris and disposing of the pig heads during the night between September 8 and 9.
This incident comes amid heightened anti-Islamic sentiment in France, which hosts Europe's largest Muslim population of over six million. Paris police chief Laurent Nunez highlighted concerns over potential foreign interference, referencing past accusations against Russia for inciting discord. Three Serbians were previously arrested for vandalizing synagogues and a Holocaust memorial.
