The biggest trial in Belgium’s judicial history unfolded over seven months in a special court to address the exceptional case.
A JURY HAS found six people guilty of terrorist murder for extremist attacks in 2016 that killed 32 people during Belgium’s worst peacetime violence, according to Belgian media.
The 12-person jury was reading out the verdict after nearly three weeks of deliberation. Terrorist murder was among various charges suspects were facing. Sentencing will be decided in a separate process, not before September. Jamila Adda, president of the Life4Bruxelles victims’ association, gathered a group of survivors at the special courthouse to hear Tuesday’s verdict. Among them was a man named Frederic, who said the ‘”atrocious crimes” of March 22 still haunt him.
The 12 jurors have been deliberating since early July over some 300 questions the court asked them to consider before reaching a verdict.Abdeslam was the only survivor among the Islamic State extremists who struck Paris in November 2015 and were part of a Franco-Belgian network that went on to target Brussels four months later.
