REPORTAGE
Rarely has a verdict been so awaited.
Six years after the bloody night of November 13, 2015, the special assize court in Paris has closed the longest trial in French judicial history.
All 20 defendants are found guilty.
The sentences pronounced vary according to their degree of involvement: from two years to life imprisonment for Salah Abdeslam, the only survivor of the killer commando.
This verdict was welcomed with satisfaction by the civil parties.
For the survivors, the end of this trial is also a relief.
“We will finally be able to move on”
As soon as the verdict is pronounced, Sophie leaves the courtroom and collapses.
Behind the tears of this Bataclan survivor, there is this long wait after 150 days of hearing to rehash this night of horror.
"We're going to savor. It's a great void that is coming, but it's a lot of relief. We'll finally be able to move on," she said at the microphone of Europe 1.
