Man who entered the Iranian consulate in Paris with fake grenades does not have to go to jail | Abroad

If the 61-year-old man commits another crime, he will have to go to jail to serve his sentence. The judge also ruled that the Frenchman of Iranian descent is no longer allowed to come near the consulate.

A source within the police said, according to the news agency Reuters saw a man enter the consulate on Friday morning with “what appeared to be a grenade and explosive belt”. Special units were called in for fear of a terrorist attack.

When he was arrested, it turned out that the man was not carrying any explosives. He said he did not want to threaten anyone, but wanted to take revenge on the Iranian regime for persecuting his family in Iran.

It was not the first time that the man attacked the consulate. He was convicted of arson at the building in September last year.
