Today the verdict is expected in the trial of 14 people linked to the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish store in 2015.
Twelve people died in Charlie Hebdo’s editorial office on January 7, 2015, after the newspaper published drawings of the Prophet Muhammad. The two perpetrators fled the scene.
The next day, another man killed a policeman at a traffic control in Paris. Another day after that, he took hostages in a Jewish supermarket, where four people died.
The three perpetrators died in a coordinated police operation on the night of January 9. The event was one of the first in a series of extremist attacks in Europe.
The 14 people who can receive their sentences today are accused of having helped the three who carried out the attacks. Among other things, it refers to the shipment of arms and the belonging and financing of a terrorist group.
Prosecutors require sentences of between five years to the life of the defendant, but defense attorneys have argued that the evidence does not stand and warned that too harsh sentences can be handed down to compensate the three who committed the fact that they cannot be prosecuted. writes France 24.
The three-month trial in Paris has been delayed multiple times due to the corona pandemic.
After the fact, people from all over the world expressed their solidarity with the words “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie).
