L'histoire ressemble à un scénario de comédie dramatique, mais pour Dany Boon, elle s'est transformée en véritable cauchemar financier. L'acteur et réalisateur, figure incontournable du cinéma français, a perdu plus de cinq millions d'euros dans une escroquerie sophistiquée, montée par un homme de 36 ans déjà condamné pour des fraudes similaires.Tout commence en 2021. L'escroc approche Dany Boon en se présentant comme un lord irlandais, skipper de renom, membre du prestigieux Royal Cork Yacht Club. Costume impeccable, discours rodé : il inspire confiance. Le comédien, qui souhaitait acquérir un voilier auprès du navigateur Marc Pajot, voit en lui un interlocuteur crédible, capable de gérer l'achat et l'entretien de son futur navire. Une société est créée pour l'occasion, et Dany Boon y investit 2,2 millions d'euros, censés couvrir le financement, l'assurance et l'entretien du yacht. Problème : la société est fictive, et l'assurance souscrite auprès d'une structure domiciliée aux Samoa n'existe pas.Mais l'histoire ne s'arrête pas là. Fort de la confiance gagnée, le faux lord propose quelques mois plus tard un placement financier alléchant auprès d'une prétendue banque irlandaise. Séduit par l'offre, l'acteur lui confie 4,5 millions d'euros supplémentaires. L'escroc admettra plus tard devant les enquêteurs qu'il a « saisi une occasion ». Pour sa défense, il affirme que Dany Boon cherchait à optimiser fiscalement son investissement en visant l'achat d'un voilier plus imposant. L'avocat de l'acteur dément catégoriquement, rappelant que son client a toujours agi dans le strict respect de la loi.En novembre 2021, le château de cartes s'effondre. L'escroc annonce cesser son activité, promettant qu'un repreneur prendra le relais… mais ce repreneur n'existe pas. Lorsqu'il tente de récupérer ses fonds, Dany Boon découvre qu'ils se sont déjà évaporés. Une partie a circulé sur des comptes à Monaco et Singapour, plus de 400 000 euros ont servi à acheter des produits de luxe, et le reste aurait été transféré vers le Panama ou d'autres paradis fiscaux du Pacifique.Aujourd'hui, l'escroc, jugé à Nice, prétend vouloir aider à retrouver l'argent disparu, mais à la condition d'obtenir sa liberté. Pour Dany Boon, l'affaire laisse un goût amer : derrière les paillettes et les yachts de luxe, une démonstration brutale de la vulnérabilité, même pour les personnalités les plus en vue, face à la ruse d'un escroc bien préparé.

Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, est l'un des grands explorateurs français du XVIIIᵉ siècle, resté célèbre autant pour ses découvertes que pour sa disparition mystérieuse. Né en 1741 à Albi, il se distingue très tôt dans la marine royale, notamment pendant la guerre de Sept Ans. Courageux, cultivé, apprécié de ses hommes, il attire l'attention du roi Louis XVI, passionné de géographie et d'exploration.En 1785, le souverain lui confie une mission prestigieuse : réaliser une expédition scientifique et cartographique autour du monde, dans l'esprit des voyages de James Cook. À bord de deux frégates, La Boussole et L'Astrolabe, La Pérouse embarque avec des marins, des savants, des ingénieurs et des artistes. L'objectif est triple : cartographier des terres inconnues, étudier les peuples rencontrés, et enrichir les connaissances scientifiques de la France.Pendant trois ans, son voyage est un succès. La Pérouse explore le Chili, l'île de Pâques, Hawaï, l'Alaska, la Californie, le Kamtchatka, le Japon, la Corée, les Philippines, les Samoa et l'Australie. Il décrit avec précision les rivages, les sociétés rencontrées et recueille d'innombrables données scientifiques. Ses lettres et journaux, envoyés au fur et à mesure, passionnent l'Europe éclairée.Mais en 1788, après avoir quitté Botany Bay en Australie, les navires disparaissent. Pendant près de quarante ans, leur sort demeure un mystère. La légende naît : où est passé La Pérouse ? A-t-il sombré en mer, été massacré par des insulaires, ou s'est-il réfugié sur une île perdue ?Ce n'est qu'en 1826 que l'on retrouve des traces de l'expédition. L'explorateur irlandais Peter Dillon découvre des débris aux îles Vanikoro, dans l'archipel des Salomon. Les navires de La Pérouse s'y seraient fracassés sur les récifs. Quelques survivants auraient vécu quelque temps avec les habitants avant de disparaître définitivement.La Pérouse incarne depuis l'archétype de l'explorateur romantique : savant, marin courageux, mais englouti par le mystère. Son nom demeure dans la toponymie mondiale – le détroit de La Pérouse entre Sakhaline et Hokkaidō, ou encore le cap La Pérouse à Hawaï.Aujourd'hui, son destin fascine toujours : à la fois triomphe scientifique et tragédie humaine, son expédition symbolise la soif de découvertes des Lumières, mais aussi les dangers immenses que réservait l'océan au XVIIIᵉ siècle.

Alessia Piperno"La vita, a volte, fa giri strani"Un viaggio fuori e dentro di meMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itDopo aver raccontato l'esperienza della prigionia in Iran nel memoir Azadi!, Alessia Piperno torna con un libro ispirazionale sul potere trasformativo del viaggio. A tredici anni, con una valigia più grande di lei e un inglese inesistente, Alessia Piperno si è ritrovata sola in un college estivo in Irlanda. Da allora, il viaggio è diventato il filo conduttore della sua vita, portandola a esplorare angoli remoti del mondo e a vivere esperienze fuori dall'ordinario.

Tre luoghi – isole Samoa, Indonesia, Amazzonia – che hanno cambiato il suo sguardo sul mondo e su sé stessa. Perché viaggiare non è solo spostarsi: è scoprire, accogliere, trasformarsi. Un memoir che è anche una dichiarazione d'amore e di fiducia per la vita che, coi suoi misteriosi, imprevedibili giri, alla fine riesce sempre a sorprenderti.Alessia Piperno (Roma 1992) nel 2016 lascia l'Italia per esplorare il mondo in solitaria. Vive, lavora e viaggia in oltre 50 nazioni in cinque continenti diversi, raccontando il suo amore per il viaggio sulla sua pagina Instagram.

HEADLINE: The Two Stages of Pacific Settlement: Early Migrations and the Lapita Culture AUTHOR NAME: Nicholas Thomas SUMMARY: Human settlement of the Pacific occurred in two stages. Early migrations crossed Wallacea 50,000-60,000 years ago, settling New Guinea and Australia. Much later, around 5,000-6,000 years ago, agriculturalists speaking Austronesian languages left Taiwan. This culture, known for distinctive Lapita pottery, migrated swiftly, establishing complex societies and settling western Polynesia (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa). 1899 SAMOA

What a rollercoaster week in women's sports! The USA Eagles barely stay alive at the Rugby World Cup after a nail-biting draw with the Wallaroos. Now it all comes down to Samoa (and some serious math). Over at the US Open, we binged hours of tennis and fell head over heels for Taylor Townsend's grit and game. Plus, Naomi Osaka is back in full force, powering past Coco Gauff on her way to the quarterfinals. And in the WNBA, the Rookie of the Year and MVP races are heating up fast. Hear our predictions based on all the stats on who we think takes the crown.If you rate Women's Sports Weekly 5 stars, send a screenshot and you will receive a sticker!SUBSCRIBE TO WOMEN'S SPORTS WEEKLY YouTubeSpotifyApple Podcasts  FOLLOW WOMEN'S SPORTS WEEKLY ON SOCIALInstagramTikTokCONTACT WomensSportsWeeklyPod@gmail.com Women's Sports Weekly is created, produced, edited, and hosted by Carolyn Bryan and Danielle Bryan.

Ugo, Sara, Katy Daley-McLean and Philippa Tuttiett reflect on a mixed day for the home nations at the Women's Rugby World Cup. England and Scotland are into the quarter-finals, but defeat to Canada sees Sean Lynn's Wales eliminated. Despite their tournament ending after only two matches, are there still plenty of positives for Wales to draw upon? The 92-3 victory over Samoa was the Red Roses' biggest in World Cup history, but did the moment of the game belong to the Pacific Islanders? And who from an England perspective shone in Northampton? We also discuss Scotland reaching the last eight of a World Cup for the first time since 2012.
