Here is the transcript of the trial against six comrades which was held in May 2012— the verdict was issued on Monday, June 25th, at 13.30.

Franck was found not guilty, acquitted of all charges; he is entitled to seek reparation for the six months of pretrial detention which he already completed.
Ivan was acquitted for DNA identification refusal; found guilty of the rest of charges; sentenced to 12 months in prison (out of which 6 months of suspended sentence); his motion for non-criminal record was dismissed.
Bruno was acquitted for DNA identification refusal; found guilty of the rest of charges; sentenced to 12 months in prison (out of which 6 months of suspended sentence).
Damien was acquitted for DNA identification refusal; found guilty of the rest of charges; sentenced to 24 months in prison (out of which 12 months of suspended sentence).
Inès was found guilty of all charges; sentenced to 30 months in prison (out of which 18 months of suspended sentence); her motion for non-criminal record was dismissed.
Javier was found guilty of all charges; sentenced to 36 months in prison (out of which 24 months of suspended sentence); his motion for non-criminal record was dismissed.
In addition, all sealed items (seized by the police and/or used in court) were confiscated.
Note that the pretrial detention which the comrades have already done covers almost the entire prison time (the “firm prison sentence†), so there is little chance that any of them will return to prison. Those, for whom remain a few weeks or months to be served in prison, will have to appear also before a special judicial council (the “J.A.P.†), who will rule upon the execution of their convictions.
Also, the terrorist character of the case has been maintained.
All convictions are either identical to the prosecution’s initial demands, or slightly lighter (in the case of Inès and Javier) —with the exception of Frank, of course, who was acquitted of all charges.
The prosecutors as well as the defendants have had 10 days to file an appeal. (Updates will be added here.)
