Chopper attack in front of Charlie Hebdo in 2020: investigations required for six suspects, including the assailant. The public prosecutor wants five other men, all of Pakistani origin and belonging to his friendly circle, to be tried for criminal terrorist association.
Three protagonists being minors at the time of the facts, the prosecution requests that the trial be held in one piece before the specially composed juvenile assize court. The attacker was unaware that Charlie Hebdo had left its premises after the 2015 attack. During an interrogation before the investigating judge in December 2020, he confided to having been “shocked” by the new publication of caricatures of the prophet.
