A man was handed a nine-year prison sentence on Saturday for orchestrating a violent robbery. Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and his girlfriend were held hostage in their Paris home during the attack, according to lawyers.

Ilyas Kherbouch was found guilty on Saturday of complicity in armed robbery and unlawful detention. The Paris prosecutor’s office and Kherbouch’s lawyer, Alfred Reboul, confirmed the verdict.
