Salah Abdeslam, the only terrorist to survive the 2015 Paris attacks, was returned to France this Wednesday from a prison in Belgium, according to his lawyer, Delphine Paci.
Why was he not returned sooner? Abdeslam was to serve the rest of his sentence in France immediately after the Brussels trial, which ended last July. However, a court blocked the transfer because of concerns it could contravene the European Convention of Human Rights.
