Discussion
The Times said:
Jean Alesi, the former Formula One driver, is to stand trial for blowing up his brother-in-law’s office window for what he claims was a joke.
https://archive.ph/WxS8SApparently his sister is getting divorced and someone placed a small explosive device on her ex-husbands windowsill.
Witnesses gave Police the licence plate of a vehicle seen driving away from the scene with the lights off. The vehicle was traced to Alesi's brother.
Alesi surrendered himself to Police yesterday. His son Giuliano was also arrested and has been charged with complicity to cause an explosion.
Trial will be in 2023. Alesi faces up to 10 years imprisonment.

That's nothing to do with growing old. That's intimidating someone involved or perceived having a role in his divorce.
It's most certainly not a firework.
Yeah, given the situation with the people involved, he’s in a whole load of st. It's most certainly not a firework.
There’s a line crossed, where practical jokes between mates becomes setting off an explosion at the house of someone involved in a court case against your family member. This looks firmly in the latter category, and usually results in a prison sentence.
