RABAT, March 9 (Xinhua) -- A Moroccan appeals court sentenced on Wednesday nine people to a maximum of 20 years in prison for terror-related crimes.
The nine people, arrested in anti-terrorism raids last year, were convicted for "forming a gang to commit terrorist attacks within the framework of a collective plot to seriously undermine public order, possessing arms and praising terrorist acts," the court said.
Among the culprits is French national Thomas Gallay, a 37-year-old IT engineer, who was found guilty of providing technical support to the cell and sentenced to four years in prison in the final verdict. Enditem
