Paris [France], December 17 (ANI): A French court on Wednesday found 14 defendants guilty of aiding the terrorist attacks, which killed 17 people in 2015, including 10 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which had published cartoons of Prophet Muhammad.
Regis de Jorna, the presiding magistrate, read the verdict to a hushed wood-panelled courtroom in northern Paris, reported New York Times.
Two days after the killings at Charlie Hebdo, four people were killed at a kosher Paris supermarket during a separate but coordinated attack.
The trial, which opened more than three months ago, was delayed for several weeks due to an outbreak of COVID-19 among the accused.
