Salah Abdeslam, sentenced to life imprisonment that is incompressible for his role in the attacks of November 13, 2015, did not appeal his conviction, announced, Tuesday, July 12, the Attorney General of Paris, Rémy Heitz . “None of the twenty accused appealed,” said Heitz. The decision of the Paris Special Assize Court “has therefore acquired today a final character and there will therefore be no appeal trials”.

More than six years after the attacks of November 13, justice condemned, on June 29, Salah Abdeslam, the only member still alive of the Islamist commandos who left 130 dead, to incompressible life, the penalty heavier penal code. The incompressible perpetuity makes the possibility of a liberation.

The 32 -year -old Frenchman, for total isolation in prison for more than six years, said on several occasions during the trial having “renounced” to trigger his explosive belt on the evening of November 13, 2015, by “Humanity “. The explosive vest of which he was carrying “was not functional”, questioning “seriously in question” the statements of the person concerned on his “renunciation”, underlined the court.

But behind this highly symbolic sentence pronounced at the end of a trial for history hides a paradox: in law, Salah Abdeslam was not condemned to the heaviest pain of the penal code for the terrorist assassination of 130 people. If it faces real perpetuity, it is with regard to an offense of ordinary law: the attempted murders against police officers committed by three of his accomplices in Bataclan.

The magistrates condemned the nineteen co -accused of Salah Abdeslam – six were tried by default – by dismissing the terrorist qualification for one of them, Farid Kharkhach. He was sentenced to two years in prison for an association of criminals in order to commit a scam, and had to leave prison in the night. The sentences pronounced for the others are four years old, one year firm, to life.
