		</div><p>A British man, who was seen climbing the Eiffel Tower on the last day of the Paris Olympics, has been released from police custody but remains under investigation for trespassing at a historical site, French prosecutors said on Monday.</p>
<p>Police evacuated the area around the Eiffel Tower on Sunday afternoon after a shirtless man was seen scaling the 330-meter (1,083-foot) tall landmark hours before the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Games.</p>

<p>It is unclear where he began his ascent, but he was spotted above the Olympic rings adorning the second section of the monument, just above the first viewing deck.</p>
<p>Police intervened and arrested the man.</p>
<p>Prosecutors opened an investigation on charges of “endangering the lives of other people and trespassing at a historical or cultural site,” according to a statement from the Paris public prosecutor’s office.</p>
<p>The police custody order for the suspect was lifted on Monday, according to the statement.</p>
<p>It did not name the man but said he is a British national.</p>

<p>The Eiffel Tower was the centrepiece of the lavish opening ceremony on the River Seine, with Celine Dion serenading the city from one of its viewing areas.</p>
<p>It featured prominently during the two and a half extraordinary weeks of Olympic competition but was not part of the closing ceremony, which was staged at Stade de France stadium in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis.</p>
<p>More than 30,000 police officers and other security personnel were deployed around Paris on Sunday to ensure safety on the last day of the Olympics and the star-studded final show in France’s national stadium.</p>
