The Paris criminal court handed the three men sentences ranging from three to four years in jail, with one to two years suspended each, saying it found a causal link between preparations they were involved in and the violent project to kill the French president. Photograph: Odd Andersen/Getty ImagesA French court on Friday found three members of a far-right group guilty of conspiring to prepare an act of terrorism against president Emmanuel Macron in 2018.
The Paris criminal court handed the three men sentences ranging from three to four years in jail, with one to two years suspended each, saying it found a causal link between preparations they were involved in and the violent project to kill the French president. Prosecutors said members of the group planned to attack the president with a knife during a first World War memorial ceremony in eastern France in November 2018. They were also suspected of plotting attacks against mosques and migrants.
Charges against a fourth man were reduced to acquisition, possession and handover of weapons, for which he was found guilty and given a six-month suspended sentence.
