(AFP) The French alleged jihadist accused of carrying out a gun massacre in Belgium’s Jewish Museum denounced any attempt to intimidate trial lawyers and jurors Thursday.
Appearing in the dock in Brussels main criminal court, 33-year-old Mehdi Nemmouche again denied shooting dead four people in the 2014 anti-Semitic attack.
And, speaking after a lawyer presenting a witness complained that his office had been burgled and a replica Kalashnikov left on his desk, he “condemned any act of intimidation.”
Nemmouche has so far more-or-less maintained his silence during his [trial] for four “terrorist murders,” which began on January 10, but took to the stand on Thursday.
“I say again that I am not the museum killer,” he said.
