French mayor Gaël Perdriau jailed for four years over sex-tape blackmail plot
Appendices
Gaël Perdriau's lawyers issued the following statement in response to the verdict: “We take note of this decision of unprecedented harshness, whose immediate enforcement seems to us wholly without justification. We will file a request for release as soon as possible. Several key elements in the case have clearly not been taken on board; this is why we are lodging an appeal today. We have full confidence in the work of the appeal court, which will look again, in law and in fact, at the whole case.”
