The youth riots across France have already cost the country at least 30 million euros and have resulted in thousands of arrests, the federal government revealed on Friday.
According to the Ministry of Justice, authorities have arrested some 6,877 people since the start of the so-called student demonstrations in France last month. The MoJ revealed that 86 per cent of all those arrested during the riots have been under the age of 18. So far, 2,376 people are facing charges, 65 per cent of whom have already been brought before a judge. Le Figaro reported that authorities have remanded 21 people in custody, including 15 adults and 6 minors.
