11:11 p.m. : “The verdict is accompanied by relief, but relief on two levels. It’s a relief because it’s the end of a very long procedure for us, civil parties. We had to follow this trial for nine months , with very intense moments. And the relief because, for me, there is a verdict which makes it possible to incarnate a responsibility.”

On franceinfo, Hugo’s father, killed at the Bataclan, reacts to tonight’s verdict.

9:10 p.m. : As for the five other absent defendants (presumed dead), Osama Atar (sponsor of the attacks), Aref Dibo, Omar Darif (Ahmad Alkhald) and the Clain brothers, they are sentenced to irreducible life imprisonment with a definitive ban from French territory #November 13 # verdict

9:07 p.m. : Ahmed Dahmani (imprisoned in Turkey) is sentenced to 30 years of criminal imprisonment with a two-thirds security period, permanent ban from French territory #November 13 #verdict

9:05 p.m. : Farid Kharkhach is sentenced to 2 years in prison #November 13 #verdict

9:03 p.m. : Ali Oulkadi is sentenced to 5 years in prison, including 3 years suspended #November 13 #verdict

9:03 p.m. : Abdellah Chouaa is sentenced to 4 years in prison, including 3 years suspended sentence, with banishment from French territory for 10 years #November 13 #Verdict

9:03 p.m. : Mohammed Amri is sentenced to 8 years in prison, definitive ban from French territory #November 13 #verdict

9:03 p.m. : Here is the continuation of the condemnations:

9:00 p.m. : Salah Abdeslam becomes the fifth convict in French criminal history to receive this incompressible life sentence. The previous four were Pierre Bodein, known as “Pierrot le fou”, Michel Fourniret, Nicolas Blondiau and Yannick Luende Bothelo. Criminals convicted of murder and rape.

8:57 p.m. : What is the incompressible life sentence to which Salah Abdeslam has just been sentenced? On June 11, after the requisitions, we explained to you the principle of this sentence in this article. In short, he will only be able to request a hypothetical adjustment of sentence after thirty years of detention.

8:51 p.m. : Osama Krayem and Sofien Ayari are sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment with a two-thirds security period. #13november

8:50 p.m. : Mohamed Abrini is sentenced to life imprisonment with a security period of 22 years. #13november

8:48 p.m. : Salah Abdeslam is sentenced to irreducible life imprisonment, in accordance with the requisitions of the prosecution.

8:48 p.m. : Good evening . The defendants can appeal, it is their right as for any procedure. But that doesn’t mean a new trial would take that long. I’ll post the answer of my colleague Catherine Fournier on this subject later: Even if the courtroom designed specifically for large trials of terrorist attacks is planned to remain in place until the appeals, it is unlikely that the scale will be the same a priori. The defendants may not all appeal, as will the prosecution, the sentences handed down, even if they can. And the civil parties who have already faced ten months of trial would certainly be fewer. For example, two of the eleven people convicted in the trial of the “Charlie Hebdo” attacks, Montrouge and Hypercacher have appealed. The hearing will only be held over two months (compared to four at first instance), from September 12 to October 21..

8:46 p.m. : Will the defendants be able to appeal and thus relaunch a long trial?

8:45 p.m. : About Farid Kharkhach, the court declares that he is “the intermediary between the counterfeiters and the terrorist cell”, but that “no element makes it possible to establish that he could make the link with the terrorist nature of the attacks”. Hence the exception made for him. #13november

8:44 p.m. : The court also considers that Ali Oulkadi had “knowledge of the radicalization” of Brahim Abdeslam and of his “final destination, namely Syria” and “he joined Salah Abeslam and Hamza Attou in a cafe in which Salah Abdeslam was after the attacks” # November 13

8:42 p.m. : Just like Abdellah Chouaa, who, according to the court, “knew the purpose of Mohamed Abrini’s trip” and “thus provided logistical assistance to the entire jihadist cell”. #13november

8:41 p.m. : As for Mohammed Amri, “he was aware of the participation of Salah Abdeslam in the attacks which had just been committed”. #13november

8:41 p.m. : The reading of the verdict continues, with in particular the accused who had come to exfiltrate Salah Abdeslam just after the attacks.

8:33 p.m. : Yassine Atar is found guilty of criminal terrorist conspiracy because “several testimonies confirm elements of radicalization about him”. In addition, “the court retained contacts with the El Bakraoui brothers”. #13november

8:32 p.m. : The court retained the participation of Ali El Haddad Asufi in the association of criminal terrorist criminals “due to multiple contacts at a time” when “are radicalized” the brothers El Bakraoui, logisticians of the # 13 November attacks

8:29 p.m. : For Sofien Ayari, the court also held complicity in murder. She believes that he formed “a real pair with Osama Krayem” and that these elements “allow us to say that he was complicit in the terrorist crimes” perpetrated on # November 13

8:28 p.m. “He shared several accommodations with several members of the cell. His presence could not only be passive”, explains the president of the court, who speaks with a very rapid flow. #13november
