Belgium : Will Salah Abdeslam be transported daily by a helicopter to attend his trial ?

The trial of Salah Abdeslam, the only survivor of the 13th November Paris attacks, will take place between the 18th and 22nd of December in Brussels. The French-Moroccan detainee «might be transported by a helicopter daily» to attend his trial, as reported by L’Express.

The daily hearings will be about Salah Abdeslam’s appearance in Forest following the shooting that took place on the 15th of March 2016, three days before his arrest.

On the other hand, the Prisons Directorate Administration in France (DAP), however, said on Monday to AFP news agency that no decision has been taken regarding the handover of Salah Abdeslam. «For the moment nothing has been done. Discussions are ongoing with our Bildgian counterparts» a DAP source told AFP.

In addition, a French judicial source stated that the transfer conditions «haven’t been determined yet»; while another source pointed out that the French authorities are waiting to know precisely the date of the trial in Belgium.
