Belgium extradites Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam to France
Source: The Guardian
Salah Abdeslam, a main suspect in the November terrorist attacks in Paris, will appear before a judge in Paris on Wednesday.
Abdeslam, suspected of being the logistics mastermind behind the attacks, was transferred from Belgium, where he was arrested last month, to France early on Wednesday morning.
He arrived in the French capital by helicopter accompanied by an elite squad of gendarmes at 9.05am and was questioned by anti-terrorist police before his court appearance at the Palais de Justice.
The man believed to be the last living member of the Islamist terrorist cell that carried out the shootings and bombings in Paris and Brussels is expected to be mis en examen, the equivalent in the French system of being charged, on alleged “links to a terrorist organisation”.
