Australians arrested over stripped down celebrations
Print Edition
NINE Australians, including a government adviser, have been arrested in Malaysia for stripping down to their briefs and drinking beer from their shoes after Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo won the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix, officials said yesterday.
Jack Walker, an adviser to Defense Industry Minister Chris Pyne, was among the men aged 25 to 29 arrested after they stripped down in full view of thousands of spectators at the Sepang race track on Sunday.
Pyne’s office said the matter was being “handled appropriately” by the Australian High Commissioner in Malaysia.
“Until we have a clearer picture of the process at hand, it would be unwise to comment further,” a government statement said.
District police chief Abdul Aziz Ali said the men were being investigated for “intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace” and public indecency.
He said police would submit a report to prosecutors, who will decide tomorrow if the men are to be charged.
The men face up to six months in jail, a fine or both if they are found guilty.
