(Brussels Times) The trial of the 22 March 2016 terror attacks, adjourned on 25 July after the guilty verdict, resumed on Monday morning for the closing arguments.
The terror attacks trial began at the Justitia in Haren last December and at the end of July, eight of the ten defendants in the Brussels terror attacks trial were found guilty of participating in the activities of a terror group on 22 March 2016.
These attacks involved a series of bombings at Brussels Airport in Zaventem and at the Maelbeek metro station that killed 35 people and left more than 300 people severely injured.
Six of the eight men — [Oussama] Atar (presumed dead), Mohamed Abrini, Osama Krayem, Salah Abdeslam, Ali El Haddad Asufi and Bilal El Makhoukhi — were found guilty of murder, attempted murder and membership of a terrorist group.
