Salah Abdeslam, sentenced to life imprisonment in the trial of the Parisian attacks of November 13, 2015, was transferred from France and imprisoned in Belgium on Wednesday July 13.

The 32-year-old Frenchman, the only surviving member of the November 13 commandos, is to be tried from October 10 in Brussels for the attacks committed by the same jihadist cell in the Belgian capital on March 22, 2016. This trial could last until the summer of 2023. A total of ten men are to be tried.
It’s not the first time that Salah Abdeslam appears before the Belgian courts. In 2018, the French jihadist appeared before the Brussels Criminal Court for a shooting with police on March 15, 2016, which earned him twenty years in prison. But at the time, for this trial, he had stayed in the prison of Vendin-le-Vieil in the north of France.
