He was sentenced to the most severe sentence provided for in France, with no possibility of early parole.
THE Salah Abdeslam, the sole survivor of the group of Islamic terrorists who carried out the attacks with 130 dead in 2015 at Parisdid not appeal the decision by which he was sentenced to Life imprisonment thus ruling out the possibility of a second trial, the Paris Court of Appeal announced today.
A French court last month found Abdeslam guilty of terrorism and murder. Nineteen other defendants were found guilty of aiding and abetting the 13 November 2015 attacks targeting the Bataclan concert venue, bars and restaurants in the French capital and the Stade de France, France’s national stadium.
A statement from the Paris Court of Appeal states that none of the 20 suspects has appealed the decision.
The men were sentenced last month after a trial that lasted ten months with Abdeslam being sentenced to the harshest sentence in the country without the possibility of early parole.
Defiant at the start of the trial, Abdeslam had declared himself an Islamic State “soldier” who had claimed responsibility for the attacks but later apologized to the victims’ families.
