(Radio France) On Wednesday, the Palais de Justice in central Paris was invaded by hordes of journalists anxious to report on the testimony of Salah Abdeslam, brother of one of the suicide bombers, and the sole survivor of the attack teams who killed 130 people in Paris on the night of 13 November 2015.
Whatever else you can say about Salah Abdeslam, he certainly attracts a crowd.
There were more people in the Special Criminal Court to hear Abdeslam give evidence on Wednesday than at any stage since this trial opened six months ago. Not even the arrival at the bar of French former president François Hollande provoked as much interest.
There were no empty seats in the press reserve in the main courtroom. The foreign correspondents were back for the first time in months.
