There will be six people in the dock, all of Pakistani descent.

The attack took place on September 25, 2020precisely at the time when the trial took place against the accomplices in the attack that the publication suffered in January 2015 and which caused twelve deaths and of which Tuesday celebrates its tenth anniversary.

Paris faced the horrors of a new terrorist attack on the former Charlie Hebdo editorial office on rue Nicolas Appert, in the heart of Paris’s Bastille district. A man went to the magazine’s former headquarters without knowing that the publication had been moved to an undisclosed address after the attack. His aim was to take revenge for the fact that the magazine continued to publish articles about Muhammad. The man attacked and seriously injured two employees of an audiovisual agency, who were standing at the door of the building where Charlie Hebdo was previously located with a machete.

The main suspect, who is now 29 years old, is charged with terrorist assassination attempt and association of criminals with terrorist objectives, with the latter also hanging over the other five suspects.

These are five men, three of whom were minors at the time of the attack, who the Public Prosecution Service considers responsible for inciting and supporting Mahmood in the preparation and execution of the attack.
