One Paris Saint-Germain supporter has been sentenced to prison and another one acquitted after a trial over the death of a fan six years ago.
Following Marseille's 3-0 win over PSG at Parc des Princes back in February 2010, supporter Yann Lorence was involved in a violent exchange with other fans of the capital club outside the stadium.
Lorence, 37, was left in a critical condition and hospitalised but was pronounced clinically dead the following month because of the injuries he sustained that night.
The two PSG supporters, Jeremi Banh and Romain Lafon, went on trial last Thursday charged with "voluntary violence that resulted in the unintentional death" of Lorence.
Banh was sentenced to five years in prison on Wednesday, while Lafon was acquitted. Banh will serve a minimum of three years in jail as the final two of his sentence will depend on his behaviour during the first three.
If released after three years, he will not be allowed to carry a firearm and cannot be in the vicinity of a stadium.
Lafon is actually already in prison because he was part of clashes between PSG and Malmo fans in the French capital last September and he is not due to be released until next year.
Lorence's death led PSG to take action against their ultra supporters and ultimately resulted in the revocation of all season tickets at Parc des Princes and the exile of all ultra groups under "Plan Leproux," led by former club president Robin Leproux.
Leproux was called as a witness in the case against the two fans last week and spoke in court on the second day.
It has taken PSG's ultras until this year to finally receive the green light to return to Parc des Princes after years away and their return was first celebrated during the 2-0 win over Bordeaux in early October.
