The French jihadist who shot dead four people in a terrorist attack at a Jewish museum was on Tuesday sentenced to life in prison by a Brussels court, after prosecutors branded him a"coward" and a"psychopath".
Before jurors retired to consider the sentence on Monday, the 33-year-old had smirked and told the Brussels criminal court"life goes on". Urging the jury to take a firm line, Moreau said:"If you say that in Belgium one can be a terrorist without being punished very severely, then we must not be surprised to see people arrive in this country with bombs or assault rifles in their suitcases."
The investigation showed that the two men had dozens of telephone conversations in April 2014, when Nemmouche was preparing for the killings. Nemmouche claimed the couple were agents of Israeli intelligence, Mossad, who had been hunted down and killed by someone else.On Tuesday, a lawyer for the murdered couple said the sentence was"fair and proportionate".
