Iranian authorities have imposed a 28-year sentence on jailed Belgian aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele, a spokesman for his family said. His fate is linked to that of an Iranian diplomat accused of masterminding a 2018 foiled bomb plot in Paris.
The 43-year-old aid worker was arrested in Iran at the end of February on suspicion of spying. Both Belgium and Vandecasteele's family insist he is innocent.
