The perpetrator was killed by the police while running over a crowd with a truck in an attack that caused 86 deaths and more than 400 injuries
The Special Criminal Court sentenced on Tuesday the eight defendants for complicity in the jihadist attack from Nice (France) of July 14, 2016, which caused 86 dead and more than 400 injuredto jail terms ranging from two to 18 years.
in a process without the material author of the attack -Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was killed by the police while running over the crowd with a truck -, the first penalty to be pronounced was against the Tunisian Chokri Chafroud, sentenced to 18 years in prison on charges of terrorist criminal association.
Chafroud, 43, is also permanently prohibited from entering French territory.
The Franco-Tunisian Mohamed Ghraieb, 46, also received an 18-year prison sentence for terrorist criminal association.
Both were convicted of help Lahouaiej Bouhlel to rent the truck with which he ran over hundreds of people who were witnessing the fireworks for the French National Holiday on July 14 on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
The third most important sentence fell on the Franco-Tunisian Ramzi Arefawho in the end was accused of criminal association under common law, instead of terrorist, and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
The judges considered it proven that Arefa mediated so that Lahouaiej Bouhlel obtained a weapon through a group of Albanian traffickers.
