The trial at the assizes of the January 2015 attacks, the first of the wave of jihadist attacks that hit France, will be filmed, we learned on Sunday from the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (PNAT), confirming information from the Parisian .
This trial should take place from May 4 to July 10 at the Paris court, Porte de Clichy, for logistical reasons.
No coronavirus impacts yet
Asked Friday about the holding of certain trials, including this one, while the coronavirus epidemic is spreading, the Minister of Justice, Nicole Belloubet, estimated that "these trials are still a bit far, we still have the time to adapt to a situation if it were to continue. ”
Fourteen suspects, suspected of varying degrees of logistical support for the brothers Kouachi and Amédy Coulibaly, perpetrators of the attacks which targeted the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo, a municipal policewoman in Montrouge and the Paris supermarket Hyper Cacher, causing 17 deaths, are to appear. Three of them are, however, presumed dead in the Iraqi-Syrian zone.
No live broadcast
The capture of images and recordings during trials is in principle prohibited in France, but since the Badinter law of 1985, this can be authorized if it "is of interest for the constitution of historical archives of justice".
The decision to film this trial, taken by the prosecution, is "due to the nature of the facts, the scale of the attacks, the multiplicity of the targets targeted, as well as the reaction and the excitement that this has aroused in French society. "Said PNAT.
The images will not be intended to be broadcast live, but to be archived and consulted only for historical or scientific purposes.
Very few trials to have been filmed
Few trials have been filmed: those of Klaus Barbie, Paul Touvier and Maurice Papon for crimes against humanity under the Occupation, those of the tainted blood case, the explosion of the AZF factory, of 14 soldiers of the ex-Chilean junta in 2010 and of a Rwandan genocidaire in 2014.
