(AFP) French magistrates were Monday investigating the ex-girlfriend of a man jailed for the deadly November 13, 2015, Paris attacks over an alleged jihadist plot, prosecutors said.
But Salah Abdeslam himself was not involved in any plot, the national anti-terror prosecutor’s office (PNAT) said.
The probe comes as France prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Islamic State group attacks in and around Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more.
Abdeslam was sentenced to life in jail in 2022, after nine fellow attackers blew themselves up or were killed by police.
Magistrates opened a probe on Monday after finding several discussions or internet searches linked to a “plot for violent action” on electronic devices found at the home of Maeva B, the PNAT said.
