PARIS: Damage from riots sparked by the police killing of a teenager in France has resulted in a US$715 million insurance bill, an industry body said on Tuesday .
Nahel had Algerian roots, and the killing rekindled long-standing accusations of systemic racism in France. Last week, Lustman gave a figure of at least €280 million, stressing that many claims had yet to be made. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire urged insurers to extend the deadline for claims.
