Boumedienne

Boumedienne is charged with membership of a terrorist organisation and financing terrorism.

Hayat Boumedienne, Coulibaly’s partner at the time of attack, is one of three of the 14 suspected accomplices who will be tried in absentia.

Among those charged are Hayat Boumedienne, Coulibaly’s partner at the time of the attacks, and brothers Mohamed and Mehdi Belhoucine.

One of the three absent defendants is Hayat Boumedienne, Coulibaly’s wife who fled to Syria days ahead of the attacks.

French media reported that a woman who returned from Syria encountered Boumedienne last year at the enormous al-Hol camp for Islamic State families, living under an assumed name.
