  Fuck all of those people. And only the “mastermind” behind it was sentenced to life in prison. Everyone implicated should have received life in prison with no chance of parole

    A total of 27 people were accused of involvement in the crime and were tried for kidnapping and murder in 2009. One person was acquitted and the rest were convicted. Gang leader Youssouf Fofana was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 22 years before the possibility of parole. The woman who had lured Halimi to his abduction was sentenced to nine years imprisonment. Two of his close associates, Jean-Christophe Soumbou and Samir Ait Abdel Malek, received 18 and 15-year prison terms respectively, and Malek’s prison term was later increased to 18 years upon appeal. Six others convicted over their involvement received sentences ranging from 12 to 15 years imprisonment, and seven others received sentences ranging from 8 months to 11 years imprisonment.[17] While Fofana chose not to appeal his sentence, 14 of the 27 verdicts were appealed by the prosecution.[18] The convictions were upheld on appeal in December 2010.[19] In 2017, a Paris court sentenced Fofana to an additional 10 years imprisonment for other extortions he had committed.[20]
