(AFP) A Spanish court Wednesday reduced by ten years the sentences of two out of three people convicted over 2017 attacks in Catalonia that killed 16 people, it said.
Mohamed Houli Chemlal, a 25-year-old with Spanish nationality, was handed a reduced sentence of 43 years, while Driss Oukabir, a 33-year-old Moroccan, was given 36 years, it said in a statement.
The Madrid court said it had “partially accepted” an appeal by both men, who were first sentenced in May last year.
It, however, upheld the charges of “belonging to a terrorist organisation” as well as manufacture and possession of explosives.
The court upheld an eight-year prison sentence for the third convict, Said Ben Iazza.
