A French court on Thursday handed prison terms to two men for committing burglary at the home of Paris Saint-Germain star Presnel Kimpembe last year.
They fell from a veranda, through which they had entered the property, after failing to steal jewellery and clothes, they told the court.
Their act was motivated by “money troubles”, they added, saying a third man had identified the site of the attempted burglary.
Kimpembe’s lawyer Yasmina Belmokhtar said the act was “a violation of privacy” and demanded a symbolic one euro ($1) in damages.
The men will be able to have their prison sentences of 10 and eight months respectively reduced and serve them at home while wearing an electronic tags, the court said.
