Trèbes and Carcassonne trials: verdicts more lenient than the indictments. In 2018, Radouane Lakdim shot dead four people in a parking lot and in a supermarket in the south of France.
Among them, gendarme Arnaud Beltrame who had exchanged places with a hostage of the terrorist in the supermarket. A majority were prosecuted for “terrorist criminal conspiracy’ and up to eleven years in prison were required. But the sentences ultimately handed down are much lower.
