A French court has sentenced four men to between five and 15 years in jail for plotting an attack on Paris's emblematic Champs Elysées avenue. A fifth defendant walked free, having already served his sentence in pre-trial custody.
The five defendants were aged 17 to 39 when they were arrested in 2019 on suspicion of planning to attack policemen and civilians on the central Paris shopping street, not far from the presidential palace.
