Charlie Hebdo trial: French court convicts 14 over 2015 terror attacks

A court in France has convicted 14 people in relation to the January 2015 terror attacks on the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and a Jewish supermarket in Paris.

A total of 17 people were murdered across three days in a series of attacks that horrified the nation. All three assailants were killed in shootouts with the police, leaving only accomplices to face trial.

The defendants were found guilty on different charges, ranging from membership of a criminal network to complicity in the attacks. Terrorism-related charges were dropped for several of the defendants who were found guilty of lesser crimes.
