France's Minister of Justice, Gérald Darmanin, wrote to his Belgian colleague on Monday, September 21, opposing the possibility of releasing the "logistician" behind the November 13, 2015, Paris attacks. This individual, known as Mohamed Abrini, was identified as a key supporter of the attackers who carried out the coordinated terrorist attacks that killed 130 people and injured hundreds more. In the letter, Darmanin emphasized the gravity of the crime and expressed concerns about the potential risks of releasing Abrini, who had been held in Belgium since 2016. He stressed the importance of maintaining security and the need for continued cooperation between France and Belgium in dealing with individuals linked to terrorism. The Belgian justice system has been considering whether Abrini should be released due to the length of his detention and his cooperation with authorities. However, Darmanin's letter highlights the French government's position that such a decision should not be made lightly, given the individual's role in the attacks. This exchange reflects the ongoing collaboration and tension between French and Belgian authorities in handling terrorism-related cases. Both countries have been working closely to prevent future attacks and ensure the safety of their citizens.
