Paris terrorist found guilty over 2015 attack

Published

The only surviving member of the terrorist group that was responsible for the Paris 2015 attacks has been found guilty. 

Salah Abdeslam was given life without parole, the harshest possible sentence for a convicted felon in France. 

Salah Abdeslam, the leading suspect and the only surviving member of the nine who terrorised Paris on November 13, 2015.

The devastating attacks left 130 people dead and almost 500 wounded, with the ISIS group targeting bars, restaurants, a concert hall and outside the famed Stade De France.

The 32-year-old was found guilty of all five counts and is just the fifth person in French history to be sentenced to life without parole since it was legalised in 1994. 

 The court found that his explosives vest malfunctioned, dismissing his argument that he ditched the vest because he decided not to follow through with his attack.

The individual was one of 20 people on trial for the attacks, but is the sole defendant accused of physically carrying out the attacks. 

Presiding judge Jean-Louis Peries read the verdicts in a courthouse surrounded by unprecedented security, wrapping up a nine-month trial.

Reporters gather outside the special courtroom built for the 2015 attacks trial in Paris.

For months, the packed main chamber and 12 overflow rooms in the 13th century Justice Palace heard the harrowing accounts by the victims, along with testimony from Abdeslam.

Salah Abdeslam remained emotionless as his sentence was handed down.
