https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... g-as-prankA French pilot has filed a legal complaint after being subjected to a hazing ritual in which he was tied to a target and had fighter jets open fire around him, his lawyer has said.
The young man had just been posted to an airbase in the south of the island of Corsica in March 2019 when he was grabbed by colleagues and tied up with adhesive tape, his lawyer said, confirming details first published in La Provence newspaper.
After having a bag put over his head, the recruit in his 30s was transported to a live-fire target range, tied to a target, and then heard fighter jets open fire and drop munitions around him for 20 minutes, the newspaper reported.
The man’s lawyer, Frederic Berna, told AFP he had lodged a legal complaint over the incident at a court in the city of Marseille “in the middle of the week” which could lead to charges of deliberately endangering someone’s life and aggravated violence.
Video and pictures of the hooded and motionless victim, in which the perpetrators are clearly visible, have been handed over to prosecutors.
The revelations come just months after the conviction of three French soldiers over a brutal initiation ceremony at the country’s most prestigious military academy.
