The prosecution requested life imprisonment on Thursday against Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, said Carlos, 71, retried in Paris for the murderous Drugstore Publicis attack in 1974, only to set the length of his sentence.
The "Jackal" was sentenced in March 2017 to life imprisonment for this attack which left two dead and 34 injured, a sentence confirmed on appeal a year later.
While maintaining the guilty verdict, the Court of Cassation ordered in November 2019 a new trial for Carlos, on the quantum of the sentence.
