Arno Klarsfeld Targeted by Investigation from Paris Prosecutor's Office After Calling for 'Raids' on Foreigners

Arno Klarsfeld is under investigation by the Paris prosecutor's office following his call for 'large-scale raids' on undocumented foreigners.

Arno Klarsfeld, known as the son of Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, is facing scrutiny after making controversial remarks on CNews, advocating for the organization of 'large raids' targeting undocumented foreigners in France. His statements have drawn widespread condemnation and prompted action from authorities.

The Paris prosecutor's office has confirmed that they have opened an investigation into Klarsfeld's comments, which were reportedly brought to their attention by a member of the Charente parliament. These remarks, made during a debate in late January, suggested that it was necessary to deal with individuals in France who are under an obligation to leave the country. Klarsfeld's rhetoric has raised alarm among various political and social groups.

In addition to the criminal inquiry, Klarsfeld is also subject to disciplinary proceedings at the Council of State, highlighting the serious implications of his statements. This situation places Klarsfeld in an increasingly precarious position, amid growing debates in French society surrounding immigration policies and the treatment of undocumented migrants.
