The day after the conviction of Reda Hame, rookie of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the brain of November 13, to twelve years of imprisonment, the national anti-terrorist prosecutor's office appealed, this Wednesday.
Monday, during the trial of this 34-year-old former computer technician, recruited in 2015 to commit an attack, the prosecution had requested the maximum sentence on Monday, twenty years of imprisonment with a two-thirds security period.
"A deserter" of the Islamic State group, according to his lawyers
In pre-trial detention since his arrest in Paris in August 2015, Reda Hame spent eight days with the Islamic State (IS) group in June 2015 in Syria. Abdelhamid Abaaoud trained him in the Kalashnikov for three days, then accompanied him to the Turkish border by charging him to carry out an attack in Europe. Reda Hame claims to have pretended to accept this mission to leave the Syrian "quagmire" and return to France.
Reda Hame "joined Syria at the time when the most relentless, those who are going to hit Europe, France, are leaving," said the prosecutor during her requisitions. He behaved, she said, "like a soldier" who "follows the instructions". "Do you think that Abaaoud would have chosen him if he had not perceived his determination? Asked the general counsel. The special assize court sentenced this Parisian, who was, according to his lawyers, "a deserter" of the Islamic State group, to twelve years' imprisonment with a two-thirds security period.
No "adherence to a violent ideology or a risk of taking action"
He was found guilty of the crime of participation in a terrorist criminal association, because of "his participation in armed training in Raqqa and his feigned adhesion to a mass criminal action to be committed in Europe". The court retained "its long-term investment" within the IS. "But there is nothing to confirm that Reda Hame was determined to carry out the mission entrusted to him by Abdelhamid Abaaoud", according to this decision.
The court also took into account “the short duration of her stay in Syria, the detailed and reiterated statements by Reda Hame on her own responsibility, stable and reassuring family support, the lack of mention in her criminal record, her degree of training allowing him to project himself into a professional future ”. The court also detained detention reports. After a first largely negative report in 2016, a second, carried out in January concluded: Reda Hame "does not seem to date to present an adhesion to a violent ideology or a risk of taking action".
