Four Bulgarian nationals have been sentenced to prison in Paris for vandalizing the city's Holocaust Memorial with blood-red handprints, an act that French intelligence linked to a Russian campaign to destabilize and divide French society. The sentences ranged from two to four years, with the alleged ringleader still at large. The graffiti, which appeared last year on a wall honoring those who saved Jews during World War II, was initially seen in the context of rising antisemitism but was later attributed to foreign interference. The court emphasized the seriousness of targeting such a significant site and held the individuals accountable despite the broader context of manipulation. This case is part of a wider pattern of similar incidents in France, believed to be orchestrated by foreign actors to stoke social tensions.
