Eight new people were arrested in the case of the armored van attacked in January in Germany, franceinfo learned on Wednesday March 8 from a source close to the investigation. These new arrests are in addition to the ten previous ones.

Already on January 17, five men – including two figures of French organized crime – had been indicted: some only for “criminal association”, others also for “organized gang robbery with a weapon” in this case. Arrested in the Paris region, a few hours after the facts, they were then imprisoned.

Several of them are suspected of having been present at the scene of the attack on a cash transport van in Saarlouis, Germany, 10 kilometers from the French border. During the search, the investigators had found more than 600,000 euros.

Five other people, including a woman, have since been arrested in January and February in the same case.
