Trial of the November 13 attacks: the lessons of the trial

“For justice on the first day of this trial, the attacks of November 13, 2015 was first and foremost a file. A file of a million pages and today, after nine months of hearing, there are 130 faces, 130 stories, 130 journeys of deceased people, and many more if we include their relatives who have come to testify. Their pain, no one had really measured it so far, this is what the lawyer pointed out general“, reports Éric Pelletier, live from the Paris Courthouse for 19/20, Friday June 24

“This what also appeared was this mixture of organization and improvisation in the planning of the attacks. Organization when it came to training the commandos, bringing them to Europe, and improvisation in the last hours preparing the attacks with the express return of one of the jihadists to Brussels (Belgium) as he ended up admitting to the audience“, relates the journalist. The verdict for the 20 defendants is expected Wednesday, June 29, late afternoon.
