By 463 0

Several serious charges, including the charge of helping to organise the attacks and the charge of assisting the attackers to escape, have been registered against the suspects.

If they are found guilty, they may face serious punishments.

Importantly, Salah Abdeslam, the only participant of the attacks who was caught alive, is among those twenty suspects who have been ordered to stand trial.

It was in the year 2015 the French capital of Paris suffered the disastrous attacks. The attackers targeted several social gatherings. The selection of target played a huge role in the amount of causalities, as all those spots, where the attacks happened, were crowded regions.

The trial is likely to gain serious global attention, considering the fact that it was a very serious case back in 2015 – which attained enormous public attention.

The responsibility of the Paris attacks was claimed by the Islamic State – the militant group which once was a very powerful force in Iraq and Syria.

By 477 0

Two French fraudsters, who have impersonated a not-well-known minister who handles some important portfolios in the ministry, have been awarded certain tough punishments by a French court based in Paris.

The jailed fraudsters are two Franco-Israelis, named Gilbert Chikli and Anthony Lasarevitsch. The former has been awarded a sentence of 11 years imprisonment and the latter has been granted a sentence of seven years imprisonment. The court has also fined both heavily. Mr. Chikli has been charged a fine of 2 million Euro while Mr. Lasarevitsch has been given a fine of 1 million Euro.

Both denied the case during the trial. They claimed that the case was a part of a huge scam.

Nonetheless, the prosecution proved the claim made by the accused persons wrong easily, as the culprits failed to present any evidence to justify their argument.

It was proved that the culprits used a silicon mask to impersonate the minister. It was also proved that they coned several wealthy men with their action.

It is assumed that it is the lack of popularity of the ministry which helped the culprits to execute their con act without much difficulty.

It is the first such crime that has been reported in the country in the recent history.
