## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the event very similarly, focusing on the conviction and the planned attack; the differences lie in the level of factual detail and the vocabulary used to describe the convicted man.

**Common ground**

- Antonio Ferrara was sentenced to 13 years in prison by a court in Brussels.
- He was prosecuted for a planned armed robbery in Bochum, Germany, in 2025.
- He is described as a figure of French high-level crime.
- Nine co-defendants are mentioned in the proceedings.

**Differences**

- The center specifies the date of the judgment (Thursday, November 5, 2026) and immediate imprisonment, elements absent from the left-hand article provided.
- The center mentions the age (53 years old) and the nickname "king of the belle," which are absent from the left-hand excerpt.
- The center refers to a "bank" as the target in a headline, while the left side and other headlines from the center refer to a "fortified center."
