A Spanish judge cleared Aditya Verma of a public-disorder charge on Thursday. He had joked about blowing up a plane and faced paying $120,000 after fighter jets were scrambled. But the judge said Verma "could not even remotely assume" his Snapchat message would cause such drama. British security services flagged the message to Spanish authorities, who sent two F-18 jets to follow the plane until it landed. One question left unanswered in the case was how the security services saw Verma's Snapchat message.

The logo of Spanish Telecom company is displayed atop the company's building in Madrid, Spain, September 6, 2023. Telefonica and STC declined to comment on the report. In September, Saudi Arabia's largest telecoms operator amassed a 9.9% stake worth 2.1 billion euros ($2.23 billion) in a move to become Telefonica's top shareholder, though it added it did not intend to acquire control or a majority stake. STC's holding consists of 4.9% of Telefonica's shares and financial instruments that give it another 5% in so-called economic exposure to the company. As Telefonica is considered a defence service provider, the Spanish defence ministry has a say in acquisitions and holdings between 5% and 10% unless the buyer commits not to request a seat on the board.
