(AFP) Belgium will put 14 suspects on trial for allegedly aiding those who carried out the November 2015 Paris attacks that left 130 people dead, the federal prosecution service said Wednesday.
Those facing trial are accused of having transported, housed or provided material support to the bombers and gunmen who hit targets including cafes and a popular music venue in the French capital.
Twelve of them will face charges of “participating in the activities of a terrorist group” over the attack, prosecution spokesman Eric Van Duyse told AFP.
The decision to send them to trial was announced at a closed-door hearing in the Belgian capital and is subject to appeal.
The trial could take part in the second half of 2021 in Brussels.
