Police in Poland have launched a nationwide hunt for a man who farted
loudly when asked what he thought of the president.
Hubert Hoffman, 45, was charged with "contempt for the office of the head
of state" for his actions after he was stopped by police in a routine
check at a Warsaw railway station.
He complained that under President Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother
Jaroslaw, the country was returning to a Communist style dictatorship.
When told to show more respect for the country's rulers, he farted loudly
and was promptly arrested.
Hoffmann was arrested and released on bail but failed to turn up at a
Warsaw court early this week to be tried, and the judge in the case
rejected an appeal by defence lawyers to throw the charges out.
A court spokesman said: "Such a case of disrespect is taken very
seriously."
Instead the court ordered the police to start a nationwide hunt for the
man, and interpol have been alerted.
