French prosecutors have opened an investigation into dozens of Stars of David daubed on buildings around the city and its suburbs. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne condemned “the despicable acts”, saying they will not go unpunished.

Fresh stars were painted overnight on the facades of several buildings in a southern district of Paris, a journalist saw on Tuesday. Similar tags appeared over the weekend in suburbs of the city including Vanves, Fontenay-aux-Roses and Aubervilliers.

In the nearby town of Saint-Ouen, they were accompanied by inscriptions.
