Alexandre Benalla's Final Conviction: A Year Behind Bars

Alexandre Benalla, a former aide to French President Emmanuel Macron, has been definitively sentenced to one year in prison. This verdict comes after the Cour de Cassation, France's highest court, rejected his appeal, making his conviction for violence during the May 1, 2018, protests final. The case, which has lingered for six years, shook Macron's first term in office and has now reached its conclusion with Benalla facing a three-year sentence, one year of which is to be served in prison.
