A farmer was convicted on Tuesday by the Annecy criminal court for attacking premises housing the offices of France Nature Environnement in Haute-Savoie. Large quantities of slurry and manure had been spread overnight on the facades and parking lot of the building.
One of the farmers was found guilty and sentenced to a suspended fine of 10,000 euros and to pay FNE 3,500 euros for damage to the image as well as 750 euros for legal costs. At the time of the events, the association had made a link between this attack and its opposition to the planned slaughter of 170 ibexes in the Bargy massif.
