French Uber Driver’s Wild Sydney Saga | Perth News
Description
A 21-year-old French Uber Eats driver crashed into Sydney’s iconic Archibald Fountain, sparking a wild six-week legal saga. Facing a negligent driving charge that could’ve led to jail—even though no one was hurt—Kouki was stripped of his passport and forced to live homeless in a mosque under brutal bail conditions. The judge later admitted there was zero evidence to back the serious charge, and the fountain’s damage was far less than claimed. After pleading guilty to minor offenses, he was fined $1,100 and banned from driving for six months. In a dramatic twist, he declared he was “done with Australia” before later joyfully shouting “Thank you, Australia” from a car sunroof—and denied eating the McDonald’s he was supposed to deliver, claiming it wasn’t halal.
