France

A priceless tapestry, valued at £800 million, has captured the attention of the Treasury. This extraordinary piece not only represents immense artistic heritage but also highlights the importance of preserving cultural artifacts in an era of economic scrutiny.

Paty was killed near Paris on October 16, 2020, days after showing his class cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a debate on free expression. The assailant, an 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin, was shot to death by police.

The French Police had to pander to public opinion, and echoes of the French revolution still ring through Court in Paris. In a case of such global media exposure, the French had to deliver prosecutions. The killer was already dead, so they had to find some other perpetrators.
