Man who kidnapped, murdered Parisian Jew gets 10 more years in jail
Youssouf Fofana, who is serving a life sentence in France for the brutal murder of a Parisian Jew, received another 10 years in jail for earlier extortions, including of a Jewish lawyer.
Fofana, a 36-year-old career criminal, in 2006 murdered and tortured Ilan Halimi with more than a dozen accomplices because Halimi was Jewish.
Joseph Cohen-Sabban, a criminal attorney, accused Fofana of threatening him and says tried to extort him in 2004, Le Parisien weekly reports.
