PARIS (Reuters) - French judges ruled on Saturday that two celebrity rappers should be held in custody ahead of their trial in a month’s time following a brawl in the departure lounge of a Paris airport earlier this week.
The two, Booba, 41, and Kaaris, 38, were arrested on Wednesday in the aftermath of a fight between their respective entourages, during which punches and kicks were exchanged and bottles containing perfume were thrown, sending other passengers scurrying for safety.
Booba, whose real name is Elie Yaffa, has sold millions of records and is one of France’s most downloaded artists.
Judges at the court in the Paris suburb of Creteil set the trial for Sept. 6, citing a risk of further violence to justify the decision to hold the rappers and nine other suspects in jail.

A lot of people do not realize that the French can keep you for a pretty long time locked up for just about any reason. A lot of terrorist found that out when they went back to France.
It ain't Britain.

Four people for a 12 sentence story. Looks like Reuters is grossly overstaffed.

I thought that was funny as well.

The one on the right looks like a lighter-skinned Idris Elba.

Booba, elie, kaaris sound like feminine names - and they were fighting over perfume.

Other than French Fries, I’m not aware of any specific French Food that is not a part of the current American cuisine.
