Osama Krayem delivered only one word, Thursday, January 13: “No”. The President of the Special Assisi Court of Paris had just asked him if he intended to answer the questions at the hearing on his first examination. No, so.
His refusal to express himself is not a surprise. Since November 25, 2021, five accused of the trial of the attacks of 13 November 2015 refused to appear to protest the decision of the Belgian investigators to file anonymously by videoconference from Brussels. All had ended up reintegrating the box over the weeks, except one: Osama Krayem. If he finally consents to appear for this interrogation, it is as a simple spectator at his own trial.
One of his lawyers, M e Margaux Durand-Poinclox, had read a letter from the accused, on January 6, explaining the reasons for this silence: “At first, I wanted To express myself in front of the courtyard and I tried to do it when my personality was discussed. Then I saw how the debates took place and I lost hope. I think nobody is here to try to try to understand what happened and have answers. I feel that we all pretend and that this trial is an illusion. I do not think, today, that to express myself on what is reproached for me anything in the court’s decision. I made the decision not to speak until the end of the debates. “

Four months later, he had given up at the last minute to trigger his bomb. In the Brussels metro, which would be worth it to be judged again at the trial of the bombings of Brussels. This Veteran of the Islamic State Organization (EI) has also been identified on a video of unsustainable propaganda showing the execution of a bright bright Jordanian pilot in a cage in Syria, for which an investigation for “war crime” was opened in Sweden.
“Good … very well. Sit down, Mr. Krayem”, sighs the president. Long hair falling on his shoulders, the low look, Osama Krayem reassites. The magistrate begins his interrogation in white by reading the declarations made by the accused during the instruction: “I am a soldier of Daesh, I adhere to his philosophy in an unconditional manner”; “The sanction for the one who mocks the prophet is death”; “If Islam says it’s done, so I’m for, if Islam says it’s not done, so I’m against” … “We would have liked to hear you on these questions,” he says , from time to time, in the box.
