(AFP) Poland’s Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a Moroccan man who had been acquitted of being an accomplice of the suspected mastermind of the 2015 terror attacks in Paris.
Prosecutors had appealed against the acquittal and had requested a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for the man, named only as Mourad T., who was first sentenced in 2019.
The court said the appeal was “obviously unfounded,” Justyna Piskorek, a spokeswoman for the Supreme Court, said on Tuesday.
The man was detained in Poland on September 5, 2016, and was found guilty of being an accomplice of [Abdelhamid] Abaaoud, the alleged ringleader of the attacks that left 130 people dead.
