Tougher punishments for assaults on police officers under consideration following riots after a PSG victory, according to France's justice minister's statements.
🎉🎉 LAWMAKERS TO DISH OUT TOUGHER PUNISHMENTS FOR CHAMPS LEAGUE RIOTERS! 🎉🎉
That's right, folks! After the chaos that ensued following Paris Saint-Germain's historic Champions League win, French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin is calling for tougher consequences for anyone caught wreaking havoc against the po-po, property destruction included!
In a Facebook post (cause why not spill the tea there, right?), Darmanin pointed out that the current legal system is too lenient to handle incidents like the ones that shook France. He wants magistrates to have more flexibility when doling out punishment, ensuring it's "actually suited to today's brand of criminal shenanigans."
So, what's on the table for these troublemakers? He's proposing an end to those dang suspended sentences, no more home detention with electronic anklets for short sentences, and even a minimum three-month stint in the big house for assaulting a state representative or causing major property damage!
While Darmanin has been vocal about cracking down on crime, transforming these proposals into reality requires a whole heap of new legislation. Not sure if lawmakers will back him on this, but only time will tell!
RIOTS GONE WILD: HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN❗️
On Saturday, the boys from PSG destroyed Inter Milan by a record-breaking 5-0 score at the Allianz Arena in Munich, finally bagging European football's top prize!
Healthy celebrations soon turned into a wild mess, particularly on the Champs-Élysées. While most revelers stayed cool, things took a turn for the worse in some areas. According to Paris PD, a whopping 559 individuals got nabbed after more than 200 cars were torched and skirmishes erupted between the police and youths. Tragically, two folks lost their lives during the rocky night.
In Paris, a scooter rider lost his life after colliding with a vehicle, and a 17-year-old kid was stabbed to death in the southern town of Dax. Riots continued on Sunday night, with some证ら minute brains shooting fireworks at security forces and damaging shops, resulting in another 79 arrests.
Prez Emmanuel Macron, who welcomed the triumphant team to the Elysée Palace, denounced the "unacceptable" violence during the festivities. "Nothing can justify what's happened in the last few hours," he said.
