Brussels: A Belgian judge on Friday charged a sixth suspect with terrorism offences in connection with the Paris attacks, prosecutors said, as the country pushes on with its investigation into links to the November 13 atrocities.
“Yesterday a person has been arrested in Brussels for interrogation. The investigating judge has remanded him in custody and charged him with terrorist murders and participation in the activities of a terrorist organisation,” the federal prosecutor said in a statement. The prosecutor gave no further details about the suspect.
Also a Brussels court remanded two other people charged with terror offences — French national Ali Oulkadi, 31, and an unnamed man arrested on Tuesday — in custody for another month.
Oulkadi’s lawyer said on Friday that he had driven key Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam across Brussels the day after the atrocities without knowing he had been involved.
