Ten women repatriated last week to France from jihadist prison camps in Syria were indicted for criminal terrorist association and placed in pre-trial detention on Monday.
These women had been placed in police custody when they arrived on French soil last week at the premises of the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI).
They were all the subject of search warrants.
Second wave of repatriation
One of the ten returnees was also indicted for crimes against humanity and genocide.
An 11th woman, now aged 19 but taken to Syria as a child, received educational support.
There are no elements at this stage for an indictment to be required, according to the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office.
A 12th woman is medically taken care of, her state of health not being compatible for the time being with police custody.
In all, 15 women aged 19 to 12 and forty children were repatriated to France last week.
They had been captured in the territories of northeastern Syria and northern Iraq occupied until 2019 by the Islamic State (IS) group and kept in camps under Kurdish control.
This is the second major repatriation operation in three months: on July 5, France proceeded to the return of 16 mothers and 35 minors.
Meanwhile, a woman and her two children had been brought back in early October.
