PARIS—French prosecutors on Friday asked a court to slap two top executives of Uber Technologies Inc. with fines and a ban on running companies, but declined to ask for prison time on charges during the second day of a trial against the car-hailing company.

In arguments before a criminal court in Paris's Palais de Justice, Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, head of Uber's operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Thibaud Simphal, its chief in France, face six charges on counts including illicit storage of personal data and operating a service that puts passengers in touch with car-service drivers who have no professional licenses.

Prosecutor Brigitte Pesquié closed her argument against Uber and the two executives by saying that she had briefly considered asking for suspended prison sentences against the two men. Instead she said she would ask for a five-year ban on either man running a company, in addition to a €70,000 fine for Mr. Gore-Coty and a €50,000 fine for Mr. Simphal.
