Three men, including one who is presumed dead, were sentenced to life in prison. The sentences arrived seven years after the deadliest terrorist assault in Belgium’s history.
The verdict capped a 10-month trial on the Islamic State attacks of November 2015 that killed 130 people, traumatized the country and still shape French politics.
Half the lawyers speaking for the 20 men charged with involvement in the massacre belong to a young generation in France scarred by a spate of terrorist acts.
