Main defendant in Champs-Élysées terror attack case gets just ten years in prison, no terror conviction

(Breitbart) The main surviving defendant in the 2017 Champs-Élysées terror attack has been convicted for his role in the killing of a Paris police officer and sentenced to 10 years in prison — far below the 18 years requested by prosecutors.

Nourredine Allam, [a] 31-year-old, was accused of selling a Kalashnikov assault rifle to jihadist Karim Cheurfi which allowed Cheurfi to “make his terrorist project a reality” when he used the firearm to attack policemen on April 20th on the famous Parisian boulevard, killing officer Xavier Jugelé. Police shot Cheurfi dead at the scene.

The five magistrates overseeing the case rejected the call from the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) for an 18-year sentence for the 31-year-old, sentencing him to just 10 years instead, newspaper Le Monde reports.
