French security forces arrested 13 suspected members of a gang in connection with ATM blasts on Friday. The group could be linked to around ten explosions in Switzerland.
The 13 people arrested are suspected of being part of an international criminal group, the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) and the Federal Office of Police (Fedpol) announced on Tuesday. The gang could be involved in explosions in Switzerland, Germany and France.
The arrests were the result of intensive international investigations in the three countries, to which the OAG and Fedpol had made a "significant" contribution. The arrests were announced by the French prosecution authorities in Nancy in a communiqué on Monday, according to the statement.
