Twenty -five people were arrested in raids early in the morning throughout France during business after a wave of coordinated prison attacks and houses in prison officials in April.

Backups are held across the country on Monday, including the capital of Paris, Marseille and Bordeaux in the south, as well as Lyon.

French Justice Minister Gerald Darmann said the attacks are gangs that react to a new government repression against drug trafficking.

The most serious incidents occurred within five nights earlier this month, during which vehicles were set on fire, while two prisons were targeted with Darmann as “terrorist” attacks.

Prisons of prisons included prisons in Toulon, Ex-An-Provans, Marseilles, Valans and Nim in southern France, as well as in Vilpent and Nader near Paris.

In one of the most serious attacks, gunmen opened fire with Kalashnikov at the La Farlede prison gate in Toulon on April 15.

Since April 13, the French government said that at least 65 attacks on prison or prison officials have been recorded, according to Le Figaro.

A group, declaring that he is defending the rights of prisoners, has taken responsibility for some of the attacks through posts on the Telegram network, according to French media.

President Emmanuel Macron has stated that the perpetrators would be “found, tried and punished”.

French prosecutors, who are leading the case, have so far announced 25 arrests on Monday.

Some of them were held in prisons, with the alleged business leaders leading to questioning, as reported by the French BFMTV broadcasting body.

Commenting on the arrests, Darmann said that “we remain committed to law and democracy in our relentless struggle against drug trafficking”.

Interior Minister Bruno Retagio, for his part, praised the “great professionalism” of investigators, who “made it possible to achieve results in a very short time”.

Both ministers have announced stricter drug -related crime measures.

The French National Assembly and the Senate are preparing to vote this week a bill providing for the establishment of a Special Office of the Prosecutor, with new powers for investigators.
