The trial of the attempted bombing near the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral begins its final phase on Thursday with the indictment. The debates ended Wednesday with the hearing of the psychiatrist who appraised the defendants. He notably returned to the complex relationship between the two main accused. It is recalled that at the time of the attempt, Ornella Gilligmann thought that her accomplice Ines Madani was the sister of a fighter returned from Syria which she had fallen in love with on the internet. Except that this terrorist was none other than Isnes Madani, who pretended to be a man.

Since the beginning of the trial, without exchanging a glance, the two women have rejected the initiative of the attempt of attack. Ornella Gilligmann pleaded that it was manipulated by her virtual fiancé that she had been dragged into this act, which she had also wanted to fail.

For Ines Madani, on the contrary Ornella who spoke the first attack and had the contact of the terrorist presented as his instigator. So what does it take to believe?

Neither, says the psychiatrist. He explains, " There is no sense in reasoning about division of responsibility or criminal intent. Even if Ornella Gilligmann has been completely cheated in the relationship, for the passage to the act, there is not a manipulator on one side and a victim on the other. They both went up the nag "simplifies the expert. For him, Ines Madani hid his flaws by posing as hero of Islam and Ornella Gilligmann was outbid to please him. " It was a game of fools, " he says, " and now that he is finished, each one rejects the determination of the terrorist act on the other to hide the most embarrassing: for Ines, the seduction to which she is delivered, for Ornella, his radical commitment before the love of this man. "

For the psychiatrist, each rebuilds its truth, but " not necessarily to escape justice, it can be sincere, " he says. Despite this expertise, the court still seemed puzzled by the complex dynamics between the two women.
