(Brussels Times) Victims and relatives of victims gave testimony on Wednesday at the Brussels assize court in charge of trying 10 men — one of them in absentia — for the 22 March 2016 terror attacks in the Belgian capital.
Before the first testimony, lawyers for the civil parties were keen to discuss the previous day’s incident, during which defendant Ibrahim Farisi had — involuntarily — injured a victim on leaving the hearing.
Presiding judge Laurence Massart reassured the defence attorneys by informing them that a report had been drawn up by the Brussels public prosecutor’s office. The injured person, a victim from Maelbeek, had to spend the night in hospital, but his life was never in danger, said Me Venet.
