On May 23, the Attorney General requested a sentence of 20 years of criminal imprisonment against him, accompanied by a series of security measures due to "very high risks of recidivism." The court, which must answer a total of 841 questions, is expected to deliver its verdict on May 28. Photo by Yannick Billioux/ABACAPRESS.COM
