Massacre of Bataclan, Salah Abdeslam found guilty of all charges
Massacre of the Bataclan: Salah Abdeslamthe terrorist who is believed to be the sole survivor of the commando who committed the attacks in Paris and Saint-Denisin 2015, in which 130 people died, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
The judges therefore fully followed the indications of the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor who had requested this very rare sanction, which minimizes any possibility of release from prison, a sentence that was only handed down four times in France.
The Franco-Belgian terroristwho spent six years in prison, was found guilty of terrorism and murder. His attitude during the trial changed: from the initial stages, in which he was arrogant and defined “a soldier of the caliphate“, he moved on to the final ones, in which he cried and apologized to the families of the victims. But he left many unknowns open.
Right at the trial, for the first time Abdeslam said his mission was to blow himself up in a bar in the 18th arrondissement of Paris but that after entering the restaurant and seeing the customers he did not do so “out of humanity”; but evidently the judges thought, like the prosecutor’s office, that the explosive vest simply didn’t work.
In total, the five magistrates of the Paris Special Assize Court have handed down sentences ranging from two years’ imprisonment to life imprisonment against 20 defendantswho had been on trial since September, of which six in absentia.
