Zouaoui faced trial at the Old Bailey on January 30, 2026. For the Bournemouth offences, he was sentenced to two years. But that was just the start. He was also convicted for serious London crimes, including firearm possession, ammunition, supplying a Class B drug, and assisting an offender.
The London sentences totalled 14 years, running consecutively with the Bournemouth case, slamming Zouaoui with a staggering 16-year prison term.
