French rap stars fined 50,000 euros for damaging departures lounge

- France
Two French rap stars who clashed in a fight at Paris's Orly airport, delaying flights and damaging a departures lounge, were fined 50,000 euros ($57,000) each on Tuesday after a trial that showcased the blurred line between "bad-boy" marketing and real-life violence.
A judge also gave the two men, stage names Booba and Kaaris, suspended jail sentences, meaning they effectively escape real time behind bars.
The court ruling followed a mass punchup on Aug. 1 involving the two and their minders, after which they spent three weeks in custody.
