After six months of hearings and the hearing of hundreds of witnesses, the trial of the March 2016 attacks in Brussels has just entered a new phase. A large part of this first day was devoted to Mohamed Abrini, the one who gave up blowing himself up at Brussels-Zaventem airport.

For the prosecution, nothing exonerates Mohamed A brini from his guilt as a "co-author" of the attacks. He did not give up, he just fled because he waited for the first explosion to decide to leave.
