Prison and expulsion for the authors of two home jackings

The Geneva Criminal Court sentenced five men on Monday to prison terms ranging from 4.5 to 7.5 years in prison for their participation in two home-jackings committed in Geneva. The defendants will all be expelled from once their sanction is purged.

The heaviest sentences were imposed on two brothers living in Vaulx-en-Velin, in the suburbs of Lyon. They were guilty of having, one evening in February 2023, attacked an elderly couple at their home in Cartigny (GE), with the help of a fellows arrested in France.

The elder of the brothers received 7.5 years in prison, the youngest was sentenced to 7 years in prison. Their fault is very important, underlined the president of the court when reading the judgment. The 56-year-old Franco-Portuguese, considered the instigator of the two home jackings, was inflicted a sentence of 6 years in prison.

The second home-jacking took place in Geneva, in May 2021. A man had been surprised in his room by the emergence of two men who had stolen 12,000 francs.
