A 19-year-old Russian man has been sentenced to eight months in prison and permanently banned from French territory after making Nazi salutes near a synagogue.
He was detained in the town of Sarcelles, in the northern suburbs of Paris, where he was seen with two other individuals.
The town is home to a large Jewish community.
A French national of Ukrainian origin, who appeared in court alongside the Russian man on Tuesday, was sentenced to six months in prison.
The court found the pair guilty, among other charges, of glorifying terrorism, the Pontoise prosecutor’s office told AFP.
