“I’m taking over” says Sven Marie in his message – “I don’t just want to defend victims” he has made it clear
His former lawyer Salah Abdeslam – the only surviving jihadist who allegedly carried out the 2015 attack – is taking on Eva Kaili’s defense in the Qatargate corruption case at the European Parliament.
THE Sven Marie a prominent lawyer in Belgium, announced to POLITICO on Monday that he will take over from Greek-born Andre Rizopoulos, who until now represented Kylie.
“I take over” he said in his message.
Ms. Kaili’s former attorney confirmed to POLITICO that he was no longer in charge of her case, but declined to say why.
Marie is a well-known lawyer in Belgium, both because of his -high profile- clients and because of his public appearances.
Outside Belgium he is best known as the lawyer who represented Abdeslam, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Even before this case, he was known as “Devil’s advocate” because of his past clients such as Fouad Belkasem, who recruited young men to fight for the Islamic State. Marie is known as an outspoken personality in the Belgian media, and has made it clear that she is “not a lawyer who wants only to defend victims”.
