Although no arrests have been made, prosecutors have confirmed that officers are referring to the “gang murder” analysis.

The incident occurred just weeks before the 2024 Olympics in the European capital’s money.

According to European magazine Le Parisien, restaurant masters called for help when they saw the person’s state.

Following the alleged assault, she was eventually taken to Funny hospital for medical examination by health professionals.

According to the Paris Prosecutor’s Office, police were looking into the claims and were looking at CCTV images.

The following criminal police district has been given the task of conducting the investigation into the cost of group rape that is likely to have occurred on the evening of 19 to 20 July, it said.
