Immediately, thanks to the victim's description, the police located two of the three suspects near the crime scene.

Both are in police custody in the premises of the first judicial police district.
Two months ago, another case of rape in the middle of Paris was brought to light by Europe 1. In February 2023, two Brazilian tourists were sexually assaulted on the Champ-de-Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, by two men who fled. One of the two attackers was arrested at the beginning of last December.
