(AP) French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Friday that authorities have not detected any “tangible” terror threats during the first week of the Olympic Games, during which about 200 people have been arrested by security forces for various crimes.
Darmanin released the first official statistics regarding the Paris Olympics’ security during a visit to a police station in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris home to two major venues: the Stade de France and the Olympic Aquatics Centre.
He said there were about 200 people arrested since July 26, including 180 taken into police custody.
They include some “individuals” who “could have” committed attacks, including on the day of the opening ceremony, Darmanin said.
