[HIGHLIGHTS] Salah Abdeslam taken from his cell in Belgium and sent back to France

Salah Abdeslam was taken from his cell in Belgium and sent back to France. He had been detained in Belgium since his trial for the Brussels attacks.

Belgian justice had blocked his transfer to France, which wanted him to serve his sentence for the November 13 attacks. Last September, Belgian justice rejected a request made by SalahAbdeslam, who wanted not to return to prison in France. In Brussels, in a trial started in December 2022, he was declared co-perpetrator of the suicide attacks of March 22, 2016 killing 35 people.
