Paris authorities are investigating the possibility that a suspect is involved in the criminal activity. - Russian perpetrators disrespected a Holocaust commemorative site.

The French media outlets "Le Parisien" and France Info share that the Paris police are probing into a potential Russian involvement in a vandalism incident at the Holocaust memorial called "Mémorial de la Shoah." The incident, which involved red handprints painted on the memorial, sparked anger across the nation.

The reports indicate that the act of vandalism was part of an attempt to destabilize France, was possibly orchestrated by the Russian government. Two Bulgarian individuals are believed to be the masterminds behind the incident, with their identities traced through footage of the memorial, and tracking of their mobile phone data. These two foreigners are said to have made their way from France to Brussels the day after the attack, with the assistance of one or two Bulgarian accomplices.

Furthermore, Paris authorities speculate that the same Russian hand might be behind other similar events, including the spray-painting of "Caution, balcony may collapse" on buildings, perhaps as a warning about the risk of balconies collapsing during the Olympic Games' opening ceremony on the Seine. The Prefecture of Police has assured safety and encouraged common sense.

The weekly newspaper "Le Canard enchaîné" claims that there were also incidents of disrupted GPS navigation at Paris' Charles-de-Gaulle airport, resembling those reported from the Baltic region. However, the event was not made public to avoid stirring up public unrest.

Back in November, France had blamed Russia for the mass spraying of Stars of David on Parisian buildings. The images of these graffiti had been circulated on social media through a Russian propaganda network, but Russia dismissed the allegations as unfounded at the time.
