They will be retried by an assize court.

The four far-right sympathizers sentenced on Friday evening for having savagely attacked two young men on May 7, 2017, at the Du Chaffault tram station in Nantes, appealed against the judgment of the Loire Assize Court- Atlantic.

The prosecution announced that it had subsequently appealed for the four defendants.

“This will make it possible to transmit the whole file to the Assize Court of Appeal and will guarantee the coherence of the debates”, specified the parquet floor of Nantes.

The defendants, at the time sympathizers of the GUD, a far-right student union, were tried for having attacked Erwan David, 18 at the time of the events, and Steven Dardenne, 16, with kicks, iron bars and glass bottle.

The two victims, encountered by chance as they were returning home by bicycle, had been confused by the attackers with anti-fascist activists.

Erwan David, who had been prescribed a year of total incapacity for work (ITT), kept the consequences.

The four attackers received sentences ranging from three years in prison suspended to eight years in prison.
