PARIS: A Frenchman who received compensation over a 1995 terror attack in Paris has been sent to jail after pretending he was at the scene of the November 2015 assault on the city by Islamic State gunmen.
Dieujuste sought to justify his fake claim by saying the trauma he suffered during the 1995 bombing of a Paris metro station had not been fully recognised by the state and that he had not received sufficient counselling. He was handed a two-year jail term, one year of which was suspended, late Tuesday and immediately taken into custody, as was a second man who had tried to claim money from the November 2015 compensation fund.Yann Abdelhamid Mohamadi, the owner of pizza restaurant Casa Nostra which was targeted by the gunmen, was also jailed after he pretended to have taken refuge in the cellar of his business.
