Ilan Halimi was entrapped, sequestered, tortured and finally died before he could reach hospital in 2006, allegedly as a result of an ordeal at the hands of a gang led by Youssef Fofana.
If convicted, Fofana's two prime accomplices each face 20 years in prison, a court spokesperson said on condition of anonymity because the case was held behind closed doors.
The victim's family says Halimi was killed because he was Jewish, which the prosecuting counsel claimed in the summing up Tuesday, according to one of their lawyers, Francis Szpiner.

When a Frum Yid is convicted of financial fraud...the comment section is full of "LET HIM ROT IN JAIL" But when a Yid is tortured and killed the comment section is surprisingly quiet. Money is an avodah zarah!!!!!!
