French prosecutors point to five arrests in connection with the Air France union brawl where two executives were left shirtless. The meeting a week ago was focused on job cuts at the airline following its financial losses.
Unionists assaulted the managers, including the head of human resources. They fled over a fence after their shirts were ripped off.
The Bobigny prosecutor’s office confirmed the five arrests on charges of aggravated assault. The men could face a maximum of five years in prison.
Air France blames the violence on “isolated” individuals. The talks regarding job cuts have resumed.
