FRANCE : Audrey Mondjehi Sentenced For Acquiring Firearm Used by Strasbourg Assailant

Audrey Mondjehi, aged 42, was found guilty of procuring a firearm used by Cherif Chekatt during his deadly shooting and stabbing rampage in Strasbourg, northeastern France. The duo had previously shared a prison cell, as revealed during the trial.

Two additional individuals received shorter prison terms for aiding Chekatt, while a fourth defendant was acquitted of all charges. Five fatalities resulted from Chekatt’s attack on the bustling market crowd, with law enforcement fatally shooting him two days later.

Mondjehi and her alleged accomplices stood trial at the Court of Assize in Paris on February 29 for their roles leading up to the assault. Arnaud Friedrich, an attorney representing some of the victims’ families, emphasized the trial’s significance as a pivotal moment for his clients.

Mondjehi was acquitted of a terrorism offense since the court determined that he was unaware of Chekatt’s intentions for the weapon.
“I think deeply and feel a lot of sadness for all the victims. All my life I will regret what happened”.
