French consulate worker jailed for 7 years for smuggling guns from Gaza
An Israeli court sentences a former French consulate worker to seven years in prison for smuggling guns from the Gaza Strip after a plea bargain.
Romain Franck, who worked as a driver for the consulate, went on trial after being accused of exploiting reduced security checks for diplomats to smuggle 70 pistols and two automatic rifles from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank.
He is also given a fine of 30,000 shekels ($8,000, 7,500 euros).
