If Radouane Lakdim had appeared in the box, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (PNAT) would "obviously" have requested the maximum sentence: life imprisonment.
“I would have liked to do it,” regretted Aurélie Valente, one of the two general lawyers who took turns for more than five hours this Tuesday afternoon for their indictment at the trial of the Trèbes-Carcassonne attacks (Aude).
But this delinquent committed to the ideology of the Islamic State was shot dead by the GIGN at the end of his bloody journey which left 4 dead, 2 seriously injured and dozens traumatized on March 23, 2018. Radouane Lakdim will not respond never of his odious crimes and the public prosecutor is aware of the “discrepancy” between the expectations of the civil parties and the reality of the case as it has been examined for five weeks by the specially composed Assize Court of Paris.
However, insists Aurélie Valente, the seven accused – relatives of the terrorist – “are not substitute accused”.
