Far-right terrorism: ex-gendarme sentenced on appeal to 18 years in prison

Alexandre Gilet, a former volunteer policeman from Grenoble (south-east France), was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment by the Paris Court of Assizes on Friday for criminal terrorist conspiracy.

He had taken part in a neo-Nazi group planning attacks on the Jewish and Muslim communities in 2018. Three other men were convicted alongside him at trial, including a minor at the time.

This is the first time in France that acts of right-wing extremist terrorism have been tried in an assize court.
