Explained in plain English

Who pays for riot damage?

In France, a special state fund, the 'Fonds de Garantie des Victimes des Actes de Terrorisme et d'Autres Infractions' (FGTI), can compensate victims of riots. This means the government, not just insurance companies, often shoulders a significant portion of the financial burden, especially for uninsured losses or when insurers delay payouts. This helps businesses like Carrefour recover faster.
