The 28-year-old perpetrator, Adel Gourini, was handed a 15-year criminal sentence on Friday, far below the 25-year term sought. His father, Boutaleb Gourini, was convicted of complicity and given two years of firm imprisonment, and the father’s brother-in-law, who helped them flee, received six months of firm detention.
