Original Note:
U.S. courts do not generally recognize French criminal judgments. Hence, the headline is misleading - as U.S. citizens, they could not be jailed for 5 years. The same applies to the civil judgment... it would require adjudication in U.S. courts. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/white-collar-and-criminal-law/insight-french-criminal-procedures-how-investigations-confound-u-s-practitioners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_criminal_law https://www.debevoise.com/-/media/files/insights/publications/2015/09/france.pdf
