A 19-year-old Russian man is sentenced in France to eight months in prison and is permanently banned from French territory after making Nazi salutes near a synagogue, according to reports from French media and an international outlet.
Another defendant linked to the same incident—identified as a French national of Ukrainian origin and who appears in court alongside the Russian man—receives a separate sentence. NDTV reports the second man is sentenced to six months in prison. The accounts agree on the core incident, the court proceedings, and that the Russian man faces deportation-related consequences, while the other defendant is given a prison term.
While both outlets describe the sentencing outcomes, they differ in the details they highlight, including the emphasis on the Russian man’s permanent ban versus the inclusion of the co-defendant’s identity and sentence length. No further specifics about motives, charges, or courtroom arguments are provided in the excerpts.
