(Radio France) This week’s hearings at the special criminal court in Paris are devoted to the psychiatric and psychological profiles of the 14 suspects. On Wednesday, four experts presented their findings on six of the accused. No one was particularly surprised.
Mediocrity rather than madness. That would be a reasonable summary of the analysis offered on Wednesday by four expert witness[es] on the mental status of Hamza Attou, Mohammed Amri, Ali Oulkadi, Farid Kharkhach, Ali El Haddad Asufi and Abdellah Chouaa.
Hamza Attou, a passenger in the car [that] brought Salah Abdeslam back to Brussels after the attacks, was the first to be dealt with.
At the time of his arrest, Attou, who was 21 years old in 2015, was drinking a bottle of whisky or vodka every day, 10 beers, and smoking five grammes of cannabis.
