The suspect was arrested in Paris and taken into custody after violating the terms of his house confinement “for minutes,” Darmanin said.
French government spokesman Gabriel Attal told BFMTV that he was allowed to leave Afghanistan after helping French citizens during the evacuation at the embassy, a fact that probably saved lives.
