The "negligence" claim against AF seem to concentrate on not having "informed" ( trained?) its pilots to the emergency procedures during this kind of event .
The full text of the indictment is unfortunately not yet available.
It will be very interesting to read the full text when available. I guess it comes down to how much exposure the crew received to high altitude handling in alternate law, stall recovery and how much theoretical training was received regarding characteristics and particularities of flights crossing the ITCZ. Let's see.
