The prosecution opened an investigation for "degradation of graves" after 67 graves were degraded and covered with swastikas. "


Dozens of graves in the municipal cemetery of Fontainebleau, in Seine-et-Marne, were desecrated and covered with swastikas on the night from Sunday to Monday.

"67 old or more recent stelae were vandalized by swastikas, roses, white and silver" details Frédéric Valletoux the mayor of Fontainebleau.

The inscriptions "Biobananas" and "Charles" were also found on the graves but "no inscription of an anti-Semitic nature", underlined the mayor, who announced the next filing of a complaint by the city.

"The culprits will be severely punished"

“The swastika is not a trivial sign.

It obviously refers to dark periods in history, it also refers to a desire to fracture the society against which I fight tirelessly, ”laments the mayor of Fontainebleau, Frédéric Valletoux.

"These acts, of course, refer to the worst of what society can produce so I really hope that the culprits can be found and then severely punished."

The Jewish cemetery, located next to the city's main cemetery, has not been desecrated, according to the Fontainebleau prosecutor's office, which opened an investigation for “degradation of graves”.

"No claim and no spray paint were found on the spot," said the prosecution.
