Both the prosecution and the defence today recommended a three-month sentence, followed by probation, for Gabriel Sohier Chaput, who was convicted of promoting hatred against Jews.

Judge Manlio Del Negro says Gabriel Sohier Chaput intended to promote hate against Jewish people in a 2017 article for neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer.

Gabriel Sohier-Chaput is facing one count of willful promotion of hatred in connection with a blog post from January 2017 on the far-right website Daily Stormer.
