Opening of the Cruise'22 hostage trial? (27)
Start trial
Follow-up story: Suspense on Cruise '22, part 27
A few weeks after their arrest, the criminals 'en groupe' appear before the judge in court. They are all in a cage, their arms tied behind their backs and chained two-by-two to their ankles. Safety first, the District Attorney calls that.
On paper, the charges against this group consist of many sides. District Attorney @leninJM gets and takes extensive time to read them carefully. The group as a whole is described by him as a criminal organization and accused of deprivation of liberty, extortion, murder and manslaughter. Partly for this reason, they are chained together in this cage, he says.
In addition, the individual members of the group receive a personal complaint based on the primary interrogation. On the basis of these charges, he will soon express the penalty requirements, says LeninJM. Penalties that range from 10 years to lifetime, he announces. The faces in the cage show that this announcement seems to be coming hard.
