Al Jazeera's Adam Raney reports from Mexico City.

Mexico's Supreme Court says the decision to imprison a French citizen for 60-years for kidnapping will not be overturned.

Florence Cassez was arrested in 2005 by federal officers at a ranch near Mexico City with her ex-boyfriend, Israel Vallarta, who was accused of heading a kidnapping gang called the Zodiacs.

But the five judge panel decided to leave open the option of a re-trial, saying the police had violated the rights of Florence Cassez.
