Quick Summary#

Two women have been placed in police custody and will face prosecution for disrupting a performance by comedian Ary Abittan in Hyères. The incident occurred during a show by the comedian, who recently benefited from a non-lieu in a separate case.

The Toulon prosecutor's office has confirmed that the two individuals will be pursued legally for their actions during the event. The disruption reportedly involved throwing foul-smelling balls and shouting insults, leading to their immediate detention.

The Incident in Hyères#

The disruption unfolded during a live performance by comedian Ary Abittan in the city of Hyères. According to reports, two women interrupted the show, an act that led to their immediate placement in garde à vue (police custody).

The specific actions taken by the women during the disturbance included:

  • Throwing foul-smelling balls onto the stage
  • Shouting insults during the performance
  • Causing a significant interruption to the show

Following these events, the parquet de Toulon (Toulon prosecutor's office) announced that the two women will be formally pursued for their actions. The legal process is now underway regarding the charges related to the public disturbance.

Comedian's Legal Context#

The incident involving the two women occurs against the backdrop of a separate legal matter concerning the comedian. Ary Abittan recently received a non-lieu in a case involving allegations of rape. A non-lieu is a judicial decision in which charges are dismissed, typically due to insufficient evidence or other legal reasons.

This recent legal development adds a layer of complexity to the public narrative surrounding the comedian. While the disruption in Hyères is a separate matter, the timing places the event within the context of Abittan's recent legal history. The prosecutor's office in Toulon is handling the new case related to the public disturbance, distinct from the previous investigation that concluded with the non-lieu.

Legal Proceedings#

The parquet de Toulon is now responsible for the prosecution of the two women. Their placement in police custody was the initial step in the legal process following the disruption. The charges they face are directly related to the disturbance of a public event.

The legal framework for such incidents in France typically involves:

  • Investigation by law enforcement authorities
  • Review by the local prosecutor's office
  • Potential trial if the case proceeds

The prosecutor's office has confirmed its intention to pursue the case, indicating that the matter is being treated with legal seriousness. The next steps will involve the judicial system determining the appropriate course of action based on the evidence gathered during the initial investigation.

Public and Media Reaction#

The disruption of a public performance by a well-known comedian naturally draws public and media attention. The specific nature of the disturbance—using foul-smelling balls and insults—adds an unusual element to the story, distinguishing it from typical public order offenses.

The involvement of the Toulon prosecutor's office underscores the official nature of the response to the incident. Public events, especially those featuring high-profile figures, often have heightened security and legal protocols to ensure they proceed without interruption. This case highlights the legal consequences that can arise from disrupting such events.

Looking Ahead#

The legal process for the two women will now move forward under the supervision of the parquet de Toulon. Their case will be adjudicated based on the evidence and circumstances of the disruption in Hyères.

This incident serves as a reminder of the legal boundaries surrounding public performances and the consequences of disrupting them. The outcome of this case will be determined by the French judicial system, separate from any other legal matters involving the comedian.

Why this NATO fighter wing says its American-made Hornets work well for front-line air patrols

Spain has deployed roughly a dozen EF-18 Hornet fighter jets to Lithuania in support of NATO air policing operations. Joan Valls/Urbanandsport/NurPhoto via Getty Images Spain has deployed a fighter wing to Lithuania to contribute to NATO air policing operations. Business Insider visited the detachment and spoke to members involved in the mission. The pilots say the variant of the US-made F/A-18 Hornet that they fly is well-suited for the job. ŠIAULIAI AIR BASE, Lithuania — Lt. Col. Fernando Allen has logged over 1,000 hours flying the EF-18, an American-made fighter jet designed specifically for the Spanish air forces. He firmly believes it's the "best machine ever made." Allen, the detachment commander of a Spanish Air Force wing deployed to Šiauliai Air Base to support NATO air policing operations, says the EF-18 fighter is perfect for intercepting fast-moving jets — or slow-flying drones. "I think it's the best multi-role asset because it's very easy for the pilot to get all the info in the cockpit," he told Business Insider during a visit to the air base this week. The jet's screen layout, he explained, is what makes it simple. Spain's 15th Wing deployed to Šiauliai in Lithuania at the start of December for a four-month rotation to contribute to NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission, designed to protect the airspace above and around Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia — the Baltic nations on the front lines of the alliance. Fighter jets are routinely scrambled on short notice from the Šiauliai base and other bases in the region to intercept Russian military aircraft flying over the Baltic Sea that aren't using their transponders, haven't filed official flight plans, or aren't communicating appropriately with air traffic control. Last year, NATO's Air Command recorded more than 500 scrambles across allied airspace as part of its air policing missions and other defensive operations. The 200-member Spanish detachment arrived at Šiauliai with 11 EF-18M fighter jets, upgraded versions of the twin-engine F/A-18 Hornet, designed by former American defense contractor McDonnell Douglas (which later merged with Boeing). The EF-18 is a variant of the American-made F/A-18 designed specifically for the Spanish Air Force. Joan Valls/Urbanandsport/NurPhoto via Getty Images The fourth-generation F/A-18 made its first flight in the late 1970s and entered service with the US military in the early 1980s. The fighter jet has seen extensive combat experience across the Middle East and southeastern Europe and is flown by roughly half a dozen countries today. Spain operates its own specialized version of the F/A-18 Hornet. The airframe of the EF-18 ("E" for España) is made in America, but Madrid has been responsible for upgrading and modifying the jets in the decades since it first purchased them, modernizing features such as the software. The jet's exterior may look the same as those flown by Finland or Canada, but the interior is completely different, with "all the latest technology," said Allen, the detachment commander. "It's very easy to fly an F-18," he said. "The most difficult part is to manage everything you have inside." 'You can fly very, very slow' When the EF-18s deployed to Šiauliai are scrambled, it is usually in response to a nearby aircraft flying without identification or failing to follow — intentional or not — international rules. While most interceptions occur without incident, the fighters are armed, ready for a threat scenario. The Spanish EF-18s are armed with an M61A1 Vulcan 20mm cannon and can be equipped with IRIS-T short-range air-to-air missiles and AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles. The two missiles use infrared and radar homing technology, respectively. The utility of combat-proven air-to-air weapons such as these was underscored in September when NATO fighter jets shot down Russian drones that crossed into Polish airspace during an attack against Ukraine. Spanish pilots say the EF-18 is perfect for NATO air policing operations. Joan Valls/Urbanandsport/NurPhoto via Getty Images The troubling incident sparked discussions among Western officials and military leaders about finding more cost-effective ways to shoot down cheap drones without relying solely on expensive jet-fired missiles. "We can carry many air-to-air weapons, air-to-ground weapons," Allen said. He praised the EF-18 fighter's thrust, saying that the fighter can travel at both high and low speeds, the latter coming into play for a growing area of concern affecting alliance air policing missions. "You can fly very, very slow," Allen said. "For us, to intercept drones or small aircraft, it's not easy, but it's easier for us than any other aircraft." The EF-18 is the only fighter Allen has ever flown, but others under his command have had the opportunity to experience the capabilities of other airframes firsthand. Lt. Arturo Guitán, an EF-18 pilot with the 15th Wing, told Business Insider he prefers his jet to the fourth-generation Eurofighter Typhoon, developed by a consortium of European defense firms, even though the latter is a more technologically advanced aircraft. "We love it," Guitán said of the EF-18, adding that the fighter is capable of performing all the mission requirements. Countries contribute to the Baltic Air Policing mission on four-month rotations; the 15th Wing will be replaced in March by Romania and France. The Spanish fighter pilots began training for the job long before they deployed to Lithuania, routinely practicing for scrambles. "We are honored to be here, and we are very proud to be part of this kind of mission," said Lt. Jesus Ortín, another EF-18 pilot. "It's a peacetime mission, so we are highly trained for this." Despite praise from pilots, Spain has gradually moved in recent years to replace its EF-18 fleet with orders for dozens of new Eurofighter jets. The country has also pivoted away from buying the stealth fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II, made by the US defense giant Lockheed Martin, opting instead for a European aircraft.
