A French court today (Wednesday) convicted 14 people of involvement in the January 2015 attacks, and sentenced them to up to 30 years in prison.
Among those convicted was Hayat Bumadin, the widow of an ISIS supporter who murdered four people at a kosher supermarket, who fled to Syria and is estimated to be still alive.
She was one of three defendants prosecuted in their absence, but the other two are apparently no longer alive.
The sentences were handed down after three months of trial, during which the country experienced a renewed wave of terrorism, Corona virus infections among the accused and harsh testimonies of survivors of the attacks that still shock France.
The attacks on the offices of the satirical magazine "Charlie the Bedouin" and the supermarket spread over three days, between January 7 and 9, 2015, and all three terrorists were killed by the police after killing 17 people.

Survivor of the attack on "Charlie the Bedouin": The terrorists said Allah Akbar - and shot me
The trial was postponed for a month following the corona.

The 11 men who were actually tried were part of a circle of friends and criminal acquaintances of the terrorists, and they claimed any assistance they might have given was unaware of what was about to happen.
Patrick Klugman, a lawyer for survivors of the supermarket attack, said the sentence sends a message to terrorists.
"We blame the executioner but in the end it's worse to be his driver," he said.
One of them was Ali Riza Polat, who was described as the deputy of Amdi Coulibaly, the terrorist from the kosher supermarket, who was sent to four years in prison after being convicted of a criminal offense but not terrorism.
Polat's lawyer, whose infection in Corona led to the postponement of the trial for a month, said he was damn hairy and that she would challenge the "fictional trial".
According to the lawsuit, investigators scanned 37 million bytes of cellular information.
Among those prosecuted under the heavy security of armed and masked policemen were some who exchanged dozens of text messages or conversations with Coulibaly in the days before the attack.
Among the testimonies were the widows of Sharif and Said Qawashi, the brothers of al-Qaeda operatives who spray-painted the offices of Shirley the Bedouin following the publication of illustrations about the Prophet Muhammad over the years.
Corinne Ray, an illustrator who went down in smoke and was forced by them to open the front door, described how she watched in horror at the moments of the massacre.
"I was not killed, but what happened to me was absolutely shocking and I will live with it for the rest of my life," she testified.
The attacks shocked France.

A day after the magazine massacre, in which 12 people were killed, Coulibaly shot and killed a young policewoman after he tried unsuccessfully to attack a Jewish community center in a Paris suburb.
At the same time, the Cavashi brothers were on the run and France was in a state of anxiety.
Initially, authorities did not link the incidents and they closed in on the brothers during initial reports of an armed barricade in a Jewish supermarket on Friday afternoon, ahead of Shabbat.
Coulibaly was armed with a rifle, pistols and explosives, with a GoPro camera on his body.
He shot one of the workers and a customer on the spot, then killed another customer before ordering the cashier to close the store doors.
The first victim, Johan Cohen, was lying on the ground and Coulibaly approached about 20 hostages at the scene and asked if he should "finish it".
Despite their pleas, he shot him.
"You are Jews and French, the two things I hate most of all," Coulibaly said, according to the testimony of cashier Zari Siboni.
She fled to Syria days before the attacks.
Bumadin alongside Coulibaly
About 40 km away, the Kwashi brothers were surrounded by policemen as they barricaded themselves in a print shop with some of their own hostages. In the end, all three terrorists were killed in almost simultaneous raids by the police. later that year he was responsible for the fatal attack more than in Paris.
"this is the end of the trial was crazy, enlightening, painful but very vital," said Richard Malka, a lawyer Shirley himself.
the claim said that the brothers Kvasha financed themselves of their offensive, while Coulibaly and his wife took out loans fraudulently. Bomadin, the only woman who stood trial, fled to Syria days before the attacks and has appeared since the organization's propaganda Jihadist.
one of the witnesses was a former prisoner who was released after a short time for reasons that attorneys and victims described as clear, was a man An extreme right-wing who became a police informant, actually selling weapons to Coulibaly.
A renewed wave of terror
Throughout the trial, France received a reminder of the terrorist threat it faces.
On September 25, three weeks after he began, a young Pakistani man stabbed two people outside Shirley Bedouin's former offices, after the magazine republished Muhammad's cartoons ahead of the trial.
On October 16, an 18-year-old Chechen refugee beheaded teacher Samuel Patti in a Paris suburb after a lesson on freedom of expression in which illustrations by Muhammad were presented.
On October 30, a young Tunisian murdered three people in a church in the city of Nice.
On his phone he had a picture of the Chechen terrorist and a voice message in which France was described as "the land of infidels".
