Suspended prison sentences of 10 months to three years were handed down on Friday against a former lawyer for jihadists and two journalists. The heaviest sentence, three years' imprisonment with a simple suspended sentence, targets former lawyer Bruno V., 50 years old.
Bruno V. admitted to having participated in the corruption of an Iraqi army officer to try, in vain, to spare the life of jihadist Maximilien Thibaut during the battle of Mosul in 2017. Edith B., 43 years old, and Céline M., 44 years old were also sentenced respectively to 10 and 12 months of imprisonment with simple suspension.
