PSG triumph: how the courts punished those behind the unrest | OneFootball

After Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League triumph on Saturday, fast-track hearings delivered a mixed picture, with only one immediate jail term.

Alliance’s secretary general renewed his attack on the judiciary and on supervising minister Laurent Nuñez, arguing punishments did not match the gravity of the offences.

The Paris court expanded capacity as 13 adults appeared on Monday and about 20 more on Tuesday, some sessions running late into the night. The Prime Minister wants to explore using social benefits to fund compensation.

One man was jailed immediately, off-duty police officer Erwan M., 24, who pointed his service weapon at a motorist and received 14 months for armed violence. Another who fled police and hit a firefighters’ vehicle was remanded until a hearing on seven July.

Charges ranged from assaults on officers and looting to participation in a group preparing violence or damage. Sentences were tailored to records and personal circumstances.

A 22-year-old who hit an officer avoided immediate custody despite the prosecutor’s request, his six-month term will be adjusted. Twenty-two plea deals led to terms up to 10 months on electronic tags.

Prosecutors sought multiple committals, yet judges often declined. A 31-year-old who threw projectiles got 10 months suspended after a request for six months firm with immediate jailing.

Some cases collapsed for lack of proof, including a 22-year-old cleared over an alleged bottle thrown at firefighters amid arrest-location errors. The gravest files are still under investigation, notably an agricultural explosive hurled at an anti-crime brigade that seriously injured a policewoman, treated as attempted murder.

Elsewhere, in Pau a man received four months on an electronic tag for injuring an officer with a sausage, La Dépêche reported.
