He speaks in particular of the other members of the cell as ‘very good people, very nice people’, he says he wants to accompany Najim Laachraoui in death.”

(…) You should not cut down your sentence on the pretext that he was sentenced in Paris”, assured the magistrate. The latter also requested that Mohamed Abrini be made available to TAP for the maximum duration, i.e. 15 years. “His life so far has shown that he cannot be trusted,” he said.
Finally, the prosecutor demanded that Mohamed Abrini be deprived of his civil rights and stripped of his Belgian nationality. “It’s important in terms of symbol. The link between Belgian society and Mohamed Abrini has been broken and it’s only his doing. He betrayed his country”, justified Bernard Michel.
