Four men will appear before a judge in France on Tuesday when they face being placed under formal investigation for providing support to one of the Paris Islamist attackers, the prosecutors’ office said, reports The Times of Israel.
Three of the women detained in the raids were freed on Saturday and five people were released overnight Tuesday, the Paris prosecutors’ office said.
The remaining four will later on Tuesday face an anti-terrorist judge who will decide whether to formally place them under investigation for providing logistical support to one of the Paris attackers, Amedy Coulibaly.
Coulibaly took hostages at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris on January 9th in a raid that left four dead. He is also suspected of shooting dead a policewoman the previous day just outside southern Paris.
He claimed to have acted in concert with Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, brothers who began the three days of Paris attacks on January 7th when they burst into the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly, mowing down 12 people in revenge for cartoons lampooning the Prophet Mohammed.
