France
The French justice system has a wide interpretation of entrapment. In the case called "affaire de Broglie", M. Simone, a police officer, provided the weapon to a person with criminal record, in order to kill prince Jean de Broglie, a well known businessman and politician. The court found both the officer and the killer guilty, and were sentenced to 10 years in jail each.
