(AFP) The trial over the November 2015 attacks in Paris, France’s worst-ever terror assault, heard the beginning of closing arguments Wednesday by the three leading prosecutors in the case.
For three days, the prosecutors will detail their version of the events on November 13, 2015, when 130 people died at the Bataclan concert hall and elsewhere in shootings that traumatised the country.
In accordance with French court procedure, the prosecutors will then lay out their assessment of the level of guilt of each accused and finally, on Friday, recommend sentencing.
In the dock is Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the Islamist attackers who opened fire in the packed concert hall and on cafe terraces in adjacent streets, as well as at the Stade de France sports arena.
