A Frenchman arrested for hiding a flare in his rectum & burning himself

A Frenchman of Albanian descent was arrested on Wednesday in the Nice fan zone during France’s match against Albania after he smuggled a 4 cm x 18 cm flare in his rectum.

He is going to be put on trial for having brought the flare into the fan zone and then injuring two other people by burning them by accident (as well as burning himself).

The 18 year old managed to sneak past security checks and set the flare off, injuring himself and two others.
