A French court has sentenced a nine-member gang who violently kidnapped a Jewish family to sentences of up to 12 years in prison.

The Assize Court in Seine-Saint-Denis, located near Paris, tries some of the most egregious crimes committed in France.

The judge ruled in this case that the gang receive sentences ranging from 4 to 12 years in jail.

The lengthiest sentence was handed down to the ringleader of the three main assailants who attacked Mireille Pinto, 75, Roger Pinto, 89, and their 52-year old son David.

The elder Pinto is a well known leader of the French Jewish community.
