“Two executives working for Uber in Paris have been arrested following months of fraught legal battles over the app-based ride hailing service.  The two unnamed executives were detained on Monday, city prosecutor Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre confirmed to the Associated Press. Details of any possible charges were not released immediately by authorities, with the prosecutor saying merely that they were in custody for questioning over ‘illicit activities’.  Uber has naturally argued, as it has in London and other cities, that it should not be punished for its technical innovation and convenience advantage over older cab systems that are unable or unwilling to innovate.”
