One of the condemned at first instance, Nezar Pastor Alwatik, admitted to having kept weapons on behalf of Coulibaly what he had denied during the first trial.

At first instance, eleven accused were held in the box, in addition to three accused in absence, the Mohamed and Mehdi Belhoucine brothers, both alleged dead in Syria, and Hayat Boumeddiene, the wife of Amedy Coulibaly, in Leak in Syria. On appeal, there are only two of them, Ali Riza Polat, 37, sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment with a two -thirds security sentence for “complicity in terrorist assassinations”, and Amar Ramdani, 39, sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment for “association of criminal terrorist criminals”.
Logically, the two accused of the appeal trial are those who were sentenced to the two heaviest sentences. The others convicted at first instance, either nine people in all, have chosen not to appeal, either by discouragement, or for fear of seeing their sentence increased. Some are already free. It is not an intangible rule, but we could see that the more distant the release, the more free the floor and without – too much – calculations. On the contrary, the closer the release or acquired, the less the ex-coaches say.
The most anticipated confrontations were those between the accused and Willy Prevost on the one hand, as well as Nezar Pastor Alwatik on the other. The two were relatives of Amedy Coulibaly, the terrorist of Montrouge and the hyper hide of Vincennes. The first, sentenced to thirteen years of imprisonment at first instance, is the one whose statements were the most damaging to Ali Riza Polat. The second, which is currently serving eighteen years of imprisonment, formed a trio of friends with Amedy Coulibaly and Amar Ramdani, whom he had met at the laundry room of Villepinte prison (Seine-Saint-Denis) at the beginning of the years 2010.

Willy Prevost began with condolences to families and a tribute to the victims of the attacks, which was not the case for most of the other convicted people. Prevost, 36, shaved skull, protruding eyebrows and dressed in a dark anorak, testified in videoconferencing from his detention center. Laconic, he has not varied in his testimony to the first instance. At the time, Ali Riza Polat, who had distinguished himself by his aggressive outings, had overwhelmed prevost of insults, accusing him of having “swung” him to the investigating judge and of having “lied” for “Protect your skin”.
This time, Polat was held quiet, the air absent. Well he took it, because Willy Prevost drew from him, as he testified, the portrait of a “scapegoat” by Coulibaly, of which he was the “little”: “it was pride To walk with Coulibaly. He was respected in the neighborhood. A guy who has his shoulders. “A guy who we don’t say no:” Personally, I do that, I finish in a beaten forest. “Implied, implied, implied, implied, implied, implied, implied. Polat too. Of the latter, Willy Prevost said on several occasions: “It’s a thug, not a terro.”
