A French national accused by Mali’s military-led government of involvement in a plot to destabilise the country last year has been sentenced to 20 years
in prison, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday, in a case that has strained ties between Bamako and Paris.
Yann Vezilier is expected to serve his sentence in Mali following a conviction handed down late on Thursday, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media.
