Justice will deliver on Wednesday evening the verdict of the trial of the attacks of November 13, 2015, which began in September 2021. Before this revelation, Europe 1 met Jean-Bernard Arruebo, the father of Anne-Laure murdered at the bar La Belle Équipe .
For him, the acts committed are "inexcusable, unforgivable".
The trial of the November 13 attacks is coming to an end.
After ten months of trial, French justice must deliver its verdict this Wednesday evening.
Europe 1 met the father of one of the 130 murdered victims on the evening of November 13, 2015. "It was quite difficult for me to imagine myself at the bar of the Assize Court to talk about the murder of my daughter “, testifies Jean-Bernard Arruebo, the father of Anne-Laure, murdered at the bar La Belle Équipe.
“Each time we came to the hearing, we felt a particular kind of pressure, tinged with sadness and questioning, to say to ourselves, 'what am I doing here?'”, recounts. -he.
"The facts are too serious to accept an apology"
It is the epilogue of the longest criminal hearing in post-war French judicial history.
A trial that lasted too long for Jean-Bernard Arruebo who wants "justice to be severe".
The "apologies" to the victims of Salah Abdeslam, the only member still alive from the attacks, at the end of his last interrogation, are far from having convinced Anne-Laure's father.
"It is not, for me, the words that are suitable, 'apology' and 'pardon', with the facts that have been committed, it is inexcusable and unforgivable", he explains.
Jean-Bernard Arrubeo wants incompressible life for the 14 defendants, that is to say a sentence of life imprisonment accompanied by an unlimited security period preventing any adjustment of sentence.
