[Leica] IMGs: Gig economy protest at Barcelona

[Philippe]

In November 2005, after waiting for a late guest, Naceri attacked a 22-year-old man with an ashtray at a trendy Paris restaurant.[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Naceri#cite_note-6> The actor was convicted for assault and spent two months in jail.[7] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Naceri#cite_note-7> He was released in February 2006. Then, in December 2006 he was imprisoned for racially abusing police officers.[8] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Naceri#cite_note-8> In January 2007 he was accused of attempted murder after stabbing a security guard in Aix-en-Provence <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aix-en-Provence>. He was sentenced to 9 months in prison (6 months suspended) for violence and was also sentenced to 1 month in prison for assaulting two guards at a medical center where he was being treated for overdosing on drugs.[9] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Naceri#cite_note-9>[10] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Naceri#cite_note-10>

That’s for the fate of its main character, in real life ... :-)
