(Radio France) There was another shift in the atmosphere at the special criminal court in Paris this week. The televised evidence from anonymous Belgian police investigators came to an end, and real witnesses once again appeared at the bar. They were no ordinary witnesses.
There were four of them. Unlike the police officers who came with coded identifiers such as “441-157-616,” these people had names.
Yassine Abaaoud, Azdyne and Maya Amimour, Mohamed Mostefaï, to be precise.
To everyone with an interest in this case, those are significant names.
They are, respectively, the brother of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, commander of the Paris terrorists; the father and sister of Samy Amimour, one of the Bataclan killers; the father of Ismaël Omar Mostefaï, another of the Bataclan trio.
