The Paris Assize Court on Friday sentenced seven men to sentences ranging from two to sixteen years in prison for their involvement in several crimes, including two robberies committed in 2015 at the jeweler Chopard and in 2016 at Chanel.
After more than thirteen hours of deliberation, only one of the seven defendants, Philippe Enriquez, was sentenced for the two armed robberies to 16 years in prison.
One of the two men described by the prosecution as his "lieutenant", tried by default, was found guilty of the Chanel robbery and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
On Wednesday, Advocate General Philippe Courroye had requested sentences ranging from 8 to 20 years in prison.
The seven accused, aged 28 to 40, had been on trial for three weeks before the Paris Assize Court for the robbery of Chanel and Chopard jewelry stores, as well as that of a Brink's cash courier in Seine-Saint- Denis, all for damages of more than three million euros.
