Irish man arrested in France for threatening Jewish couple

French authorities have arrested a 60-year-old Irish citizen, who identified himself as 'Paddy from Ireland,' for threatening a Jewish tourist couple at a supermarket near Avignon. The incident in Le Pontet reportedly began with a discussion about soccer before escalating into a confrontation regarding Israel and Ireland's policies. According to the couple's testimony, the suspect remarked that he regretted Hitler had 'not finished the job.' While this specific comment is not clearly audible in the available footage, it remains part of the victims' account. Prosecutors in Avignon stated that the suspect has admitted to the acts and expressed regret, claiming he was overcome by anger during the confrontation. The man, who has no prior criminal record, has been released under judicial supervision and restrictive conditions pending his trial. He is scheduled to appear before the Avignon Criminal Court in October to face charges including making conditional death threats and justifying or glorifying crimes against humanity.
