A Belgian court on Friday handed out sentences ranging up to life in prison to eight men for the 2016 militant bombings in Brussels, ending the country's largest-ever criminal trial. The suicide bombings on March 22, 2016 at Brussels' main airport and on the metro system killed 32 people and were claimed by ISIS. French citizen Salah Abdeslam and Belgian-Moroccan Mohamed Abrini already sentenced to life in jail by France for a 2015 massacre in Paris were the highest-profile of six culprits found guilty of murder in July.

Belgian justice sentenced on Friday Mohamed Abrini, "the man in the hat" who had accompanied the jihadists who died as suicide bombers at Brussels airport in March 2016. The Assize Court referred to a previous Belgian conviction handed down in 2018 and did not want to impose an additional sentence. The court ruled that Abdeslam's participation in the preparation of the attacks was a related offence to the shooting that occurred on rue du Dries, Brussels, on March 15, 2016, when he fled a police search of one of the jihadist cell's hideouts.
