Abdeslam, who was detained in Belgium since his arrest on March 18, was transferred Wednesday morning in Paris, in execution of a European arrest warrant issued March 19, 2016 by France, said the Belgian federal prosecutor . The terrorist was transferred by air from Belgium escorted the GIGN, an elite unit of the French gendarmerie.
He entered the courthouse about 11 hours. AFP journalists said they saw a convoy of four cars, with board members of the forces of the hooded order. Salah Abdeslam must be presented to investigating judges “to his indictment,” according to the Paris prosecutor. Another judge will then decide on his detention on remand. Sources close to the file, it will be incarcerated in Fleury-Merogis (Essonne), Europe’s largest prison. It will be placed “in an isolation ward” and supported by a team of “seasoned supervisors,” said the Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas, referring, without elaborating, “an establishment of Ile-de -France adapted. “
A” little prick of Molenbeek from crime, “according to his Belgian lawyer
Represented far by Belgian lawyer Sven Mary Salah Abdeslam will also be defended in France by the tenor of Lille Frank Berton bar and another french lawyer, according to Ms. Mary which does not specify its name. Mr. Berton ensured his side qu’Abdeslam “is anxious to explain.” “I met a young man shot, who testified to a willingness to explain both his radicalization course and the facts themselves: November 13 and the days leading up to and follow, “said the lawyer to the World newspaper. Furthermore, in an interview with Libération, the Belgian Council Sven Mary, paints an unflattering portrait of his client. A “little jerk of Molenbeek from crime.” According to him, Salah Abdeslam. is “more of a follower than a leader. It has the intelligence of an empty ashtray, it is an abysmal emptiness … “.
Age 26, born in Brussels but French national, Salah Abdeslam is the only direct protagonist November 13 killings to be arrested alive after the death of the nine attackers in suicide bombers like his brother Brahim or killed by security forces during an assault as his childhood friend Abdelhamid Abaaoud, considered the mastermind of the attacks. If it ensures, through its Belgian lawyer, he was not aware of the Brussels bombings (32 dead), committed on March 22, it is in any case linked to the three men who blew themselves that day and that there, too, a link with the attacks of November 13, the deadliest in the history of France.
Abdeslam Salah led the three suicide bombers at the Stade de France
in this case, several men were charged in Belgium for having exfiltration of Paris, after the attacks, and then hidden in Brussels where he finished his mare in his native district of Molenbeek. Abdeslam Salah is considered by investigators as one that is at the heart of the logistical preparations for the killings. It was he who drove the car in which three suicide bombers blew themselves up near the Stade de France. Who had rented the hideouts for terrorist commandos.
The result seems more blurred. By late evening, he parked the vehicle in the eighteenth arrondissement, evoked by the organization Islamic State (EI) in its claim and yet spared. Should he in turn conduct an attack? Finally, Salah Abdeslam dropped an explosive belt in Montrouge, south of the capital. Controlled or identified with the protagonists in different European countries in the months before the attacks, he is also suspected of involvement, upstream, to the constitution of commandos.
During his first interrogation in Belgium it was mostly downplayed his role. He assured to have backtracked when he was commissioned to blow himself up at the Stade de France. With his transfer to France, “justice is on its way,” said Jean Reinhart, a lawyer thirty victims’ families. Without expect a “true collaboration”, his colleague Samia Maktouf, consulting 17 victims’ families, said he hoped “that still provides some elements to help identify recruiters and financiers of the terrorist network to which it belongs.” His Audtion by French judges is just beginning.
