(Swiss Info) A French court has sentenced a Swiss man to 15 years in prison for terror-related charges after finding him guilty of recruiting a group of men online to prepare terror attacks in France and Switzerland.
The 31-year-old from Yverdon, canton Vaud, was given a 15-year sentence, accompanied by a 10-year period of unconditional imprisonment, and handed a life ban for entry on French territory.
The Paris-based cour d’assises spéciale [criminal court] found him guilty of conspiring to set up terror attacks, of preparing trips to Syria and of spreading jihadist propaganda.
It also gave prison sentences ranging from three and a half years to 12 years to six other co-defendants.
