Key Paris Attacks Suspects to Be Transferred for Brussels Trial

Salah Abdeslam, Mohamed Abrini, Sofien Ayari, Osama Krayem and Ali El Haddad Asufi. France will, during the summer, transfer these five detainees accused in the trial of the Paris attacks which continues in Belgium, reports Sud info. They are all concerned by the Belgian trial of the Brussels attacks.

Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open VLD), Belgian Minister of Justice, assures that the delay in the Paris attacks trial, due to Covid-19, will not affect the holding of the Belgian trial. The trial will therefore open as planned on October 10, "unless Covid-19 were to change the situation but currently, we are still on this schedule," he says. And to add: "The accused will be transferred to Belgium during the month of July".
