Speaking to the accused, Salah Abdeslam will speak first

Salah Abdeslam, the only survivor of the November 13th commandos and the most talkative of the 14 accused, attracts all eyes in the box. From the opening of the trial, he chained the provocations, claiming to be a fighter of the Islamic State group, and sometimes speaking without being invited. The president will question him during the day of Tuesday, November 2 about his childhood, his school career and his flaws.

The accused have the floor in the first week of November. The court will examine each course of life. “How does someone born in the suburbs of Brussels [Belgique] or the suburbs of Paris become an almost soulless, emotionless criminal? “, asks master Gérard Chemla, lawyer for victims. The president chose alphabetical order to question the accused, and Salah Abdeslam will be heard first. The civil parties want to believe in a burst of humanity.
