Banksy made the work on an alley door entrance in 2018 as an homage to the victims of the jihadist terrorist attacks at the Bataclan, in which 90 people died, on November 13, 2015. The judge ruled that the defendants could serve the behind-bars part of their sentences outside of prison and wear electronic bracelets instead. The sentences fell short of the demands of the prosecution, which had called for the men to be remanded or returned to prison.
Three other men who were involved in transporting Banksy’s work at different stages were sentenced to 10 months in prison, while a 58-year-old Italian owner of a hotel in Abruzzo, in southern Italy, where the painting was stored, was handed down a six-month suspended sentence.La Jeune Fille Triste
