Accomplice of Paris Jewish supermarket terror attack sentenced to 30 years in prison
During the trial, lawyer Patrick Klugman emphasized that the Islamist hatred of Jews was on display not only at the Hyper Cacher supermarket but during the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
During the trial, lawyer Patrick Klugman expressed concern that the antisemitic element behind the attacks had been absent as a factor in the indictment against the accused.
“Do you know how many times the word ‘’antisemitism’’ appears in the indictment order that comes before your court? How many times this word, which caused the crime in one of its most fundamental aspects, is mentioned in 271 pages? Only once!” the lawyer, who represented the relatives of the four Jews killed by an Islamist terrorist in the kosher supermarket, declared.
