(Brussels Times) Former French jihadist Jonathan Geffroy (41) was sentenced on Friday to 18 years in prison by the Paris Special Assise Court for his involvement with the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group from 2015 to 2017.
Geffroy, who claims to be a reformed man, received the same sentence that he had been given by a lower court. His Moroccan wife, Latifa Chadli, was also tried; she was sentenced to five years in prison, three of them suspended.
Originally from the southwestern town of Toulouse, Geffroy had converted to Islam and quickly became radicalised through contact with prospective jihadists like Quentin Lebrun and Chahid Tahiri. In February 2015, he travelled with his wife and their three-month-old child to Syria.
