(Radio France) Only two of the three witnesses called on Thursday actually gave evidence. Both were associates of the Abdeslam brothers at their café in Brussels. Both spoke by videolink from the federal police building in the Belgian capital. Neither had much to say.
The first witness, identified as Rafik E. H., admitted that he had been a friend and business associate of Brahim Abdeslam.
“Brahim was a friend. We ran the café Les Béguines together. I knew the brother to say hello to, and the others, but I didn’t hang out with them. They were locals.
“I knew nothing about the attacks. I was in Morocco at the time. I wasn’t involved. It’s nothing to do with me.”
