Uber judge in Paris: authorities arrested the leaders of the European and French divisions of the company
In June, French taxi drivers turned over and burned Uber cars, and today two top managers of Uber Technologies will be brought to a Paris court. The CEO of Uber France and the CEO of Uber Europe are threatened not only with fines, but also with prison sentences.
The management of the French and European Uber is accused of illegal commercial passenger traffic and illegal storage and use of personal data. The directors of Uber France and Uber Europe face a fine of up to three hundred thousand euros and imprisonment for up to five years if their guilt is proven.
The claims of the French authorities do not concern the activities of Uber as a whole, but the work of one of the services - UberPop. UberPop drivers did not get a professional taxi license and insurance, so their services were cheaper. The service became illegal from January 1, 2015, when the country's legislation banned this type of commercial transportation. This did not stop the management of the company, it did not stop the service and filed a complaint with the constitutional court of France about this change. The court rejected the complaint, and UberPop stopped working in France after the arrest of top managers.

The operation of the UberPop service in France on June 25, 2015 was the reason for the unrest. Professional taxi drivers blocked the roads to airports and train stations, transportation hubs on the outskirts of the city and turned over and burned several cars .
