They are between 19 and 25 years old, but, despite their young age, are very unfavorably known to the police: Tuesday June 25 and Wednesday June 26, five young men were arrested in Sevran (Seine-Saint-Denis) and Paris by the Research and intervention brigade of the Paris Police Prefecture (BRI-PP).
