The French judiciary handed down, Tuesday, a one year suspended sentence and a fine of 10,000 Euros to journalists Catherine Graciet and Eric Laurent, said French news outlets.
The verdict included a one symbolic dirham for Morocco.
The case commenced in 2015 when the two journalists tried to blackmail the Moroccan Monarch and demanded €3 million (MAD 32.9 billion) to refrain from writing a book undermining the image of Morocco.
