“SEPT. 11 CONVICTION UPHELD BY GERMAN COURT
Motassadeq Loses Appeal”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “After a legal marathon that lasted five years, Mounir el Motassadeq has lost his final appeal against his conviction for involvement in the Sept. 11 terror plot. Germany’s Federal Court of Justice has rejected his appeal, meaning he will now spend 15 years in jail.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Federal Court of Justice ruling draws a final line under the legal dispute surrounding Motassadeq. The Moroccan man’s lawyers had filed the appeal against the sentence handed down by Hamburg’s Higher Regional Court on Jan. 8. After a five year legal odyssey Motassadeq was sentenced to 15 years in prison in prison for providing the 9/11 hijackers with logistical support. The court found him guilty of membership of a terrorist cell and of being an accessory to murder.

Motassadeq had lived in Hamburg and was a close friend of Mohamed Atta and some of the other 9/11 attackers. He was arrested in 2001, two months after the attacks on New York and the Pentagon.”
