Attacks: why Sonia, key witness, feels “abandoned” – The Obs

No “she”, everything would have been possible for Abdelhamid Abaaoud , one of the organizers of the attacks and actor of 13 November. No “she” without his crucial testimony after strafing the decks Paris on Friday night, the Belgian jihadist known to European police and his accomplice may have committed a new attack. He had planned and detailed. Defense. A police station. A nursery. But thanks to “her”, they were located in their stash of Saint-Denis where the RAID launched the assault on 18 November.

“She”, whose identity is highly today protected, says it is now “abandoned” by the state. In an interview with RMC then broadcast on BFM TV, appearing under the pseudonym of “Sonia”, she says:

not even we can not say that my life is not at all the same, I have no life. I have no social life, I have no work, I have no friends, I have no family. the rest of the world I was cut off. “

Amie Hasna Aït Boulahcen, the cousin of Abdelhamid Abaaoud , Sonia had accompanied it in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis) on November 15 without knowing that it would meet the Belgian-Moroccan jihadist. She called the green line established after the attacks on November 16 to alert the authorities.

RMC reporters, explaining that it was she, Sonia, who has requested it, she delivered the same surreal story that during his hearing before the police. So it accompanies Hasna in Aubervilliers, to see one of his cousins, Sonia sees a man get out of a bush It describes:.

“It [Abaaoud, Ed] like a Romanian thirty years, with a bob cream, with brown hair wavy square, 1m70, wearing a big bombers khaki, thin build and orange sneakers. “

Abaaoud was so “proud” of the attacks. And Muslims who were killed, asks Sonia? “Collateral damage”, would he responded.

Abaaoud would also assured him be accompanied by 90 other men “Syrians, Iraqis, French , Germans, English “present” everywhere in Ile-de-France “. His comments echoed by Hasna during his telephone conversations intercepted by the police …

According to the testimony of Sonia, the terrorist had said preparing new attacks in the district of La Défense, against a shopping center, a police station and a nursery.

no witness protection

in his testimony, Sonia has not changed identity. It is protected, said they received financial assistance, but still feels “abandoned”. Why did not she has a witness protection system? Because it does not exist in France …

We are not in an American series but in the French judicial system, “said a judicial source.

In France witnesses in sensitive cases are not protected. only repent, that is to say “the person who attempted to commit a crime or an offense” and “has prevented the implementation of the infringement and, where appropriate, to identify the other perpetrators or accomplices “may apply for protection.

They can get a new identity, a housing paid by the state, and benefit from police protection, “said a judicial source.

This protection system, applied only since November 2014, has benefited particularly repentant Corsicans or Marseille. Impossible to know, however, the number

The real name presentation

Another issue that arises with the testimony of Sonia. Why has his name does not cleared of the proceedings on the attacks in Paris? It appears indeed on the minutes of his testimony. The two indictees in the folder, Bendaoud Jawad, owner of the apartment Saint-Denis and Mohamed S., who played through, so have access to his statements and his identity. All the civil parts of the dossier also have access.

“It is illusory to believe that the person could enjoy the status of witness under X,” says a source close to the investigation.



When this person warned the authorities on November 16, it was impossible to know the value of his testimony. What she said at the time is so huge that it’s amazing … The police therefore his name, to verify his identity, his words, and then you can not modify parts procedures. “

Following the broadcast of an interview with RMC, also passed Thursday on BFM TV channel, the Paris prosecutor opened an investigation for “breach of confidentiality of investigations” and “endangering life others “, which also covers a section of Point.fr.

” All those who broadcast interviews, make noise on that subject, [...] make him take a risk ” , accused the interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, on Europe 1. “We do what it takes in an extremely difficult context. [...] The best course of action is to keep quiet, “he commented.
