According to the report, the chambers had a dentist's chair, handcuffs, hedge cutters, tools, scalpels, and pliers, which police believe were to torture victims.
Police received tip-off by messages on EncroChat - a platform believed to be widely used by criminals to plan criminal activities. It was decoded by French police and led to the raid.
