Arrest during Paris unrest

A young woman, identified as A. D., was arrested on October 18 during unrest in Paris, where hundreds of young people gathered near the Republic and left bank shops. The area saw bins being burned and luxury stores looted.

Theft from a luxury boutique

A. D. is accused of stealing four handbags from a Yves Saint-Laurent boutique near Saint-Germain. She was arrested while running with other youths in the metro, but the judge said she did not run fast enough to escape.

Background of the accused

A. D., who has no criminal record, lives in Paris in a community and has been a victim of serious family violence in the past. She admitted to the theft and said she intended to sell the bags on Vinted to make a few euros.

Judicial process and the accused's condition

The judge asked A. D. about the reasons for her actions. She was exhausted from forty-eight hours in custody, the waiting before appearing before a magistrate or seeing a lawyer, and the presence of journalists.

Public reaction and political context

Following the incidents of October 17, foreign media criticized Emmanuel Macron, and the word "spread" became common in both Belgium and France. Curfew and restrictions were implemented, with statements emphasizing that "in France, the police is there to protect the state."

Impact on media and markets

After October 17, major groups counted their losses, and the markets panicked. The Italian daily newspaper Il Manifesto, founded in 1969 and positioned on the left, faced financial crises in 2006 and 2008-2009. In 2012, it was placed under judicial administration by the Ministry of Economy.
