Overview

  • Abou Zayed, a 66-year-old Palestinian naturalized Norwegian, was extradited from Norway in December 2020 and has remained in custody in France ever since.
  • French judges suspect him of serving as one of the gunmen based on intelligence notes and testimonies from three former Fatah-CR operatives.
  • In December 2022 he acknowledged his membership in the Fatah-Conseil révolutionnaire, the dissident group linked to the attack.
  • On August 9, 1982, a grenade explosion and subsequent shooting in the Marais killed six people and wounded 22.
  • Following the inquiry’s closure, prosecutors have a month to file their requisitions before a decision on formal charges and a possible trial that could extend Zayed’s detention.
