The National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (PNAT) indicated that the men were arrested in Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne and Bouches-du-Rhône, as part of a judicial investigation into the PKK, classified as a "terrorist" group by Turkey and its Western allies.
The judicial case focuses on acts committed between 2020 and 2024 and was opened for "participation in a criminal association to prepare an act of terrorism, financing of terrorist action, extortion and attempted extortion in an organized group linked to a terrorist initiative".
Investigators suspect that the eight men are involved in the "kampanya", the collection of revolutionary taxes from merchants and members of the Kurdish community settled in France, according to a source close to the case.
The arrests were made by the Anti-Terrorist Sub-Directorate (SDAT) and the Central Office for the Suppression of Serious Financial Crime (OCRGDF).
On Monday, searches were also carried out in the Belgian region of Denderleeuw, at the television studios of Sterk TV and Medya News, two Kurdish television stations broadcasting from Belgium, these two media announced in a statement.
This operation, which involved members of the federal police, "aimed, at the request of a third country, to obtain possible evidence of the financing of terrorism", according to a statement from the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office.
The French PNAT confirmed that "the investigations carried out in Belgium were carried out as part of a request for European mutual assistance issued by a French anti-terrorist judge".
The eight detainees may be held in police custody for a maximum period of 96 hours.
