In March 2019, while serving a prison sentence for a violent burglary that resulted in the victim's death, the man attempted to kill two prison guards with ceramic knives.
Michaël Chiolo and his partner, Hanane Aboulhana, who was visiting him, seriously injured the two officers. The couple then took refuge for nearly ten hours in the prison's family life unit (UVF). After several attempts at negotiation, police intervention forces launched an assault, injuring Michaël Chiolo and killing Hanane Aboulhana. (…)
One of the co-defendants was acquitted, while Abdelaziz Fahd was sentenced to life imprisonment with a 30-year security period.
Despite his denials, during the investigation and during the trial, the prosecution saw him as the “instigator” of the attack. (…) Last March, Abdelaziz Fahd had attempted to have a package containing a ceramic knife delivered by drone to the Beauvais prison (…)
Presented by the prosecution as Michaël Chiolo's "jihadist Siamese twin," Nabil Ganned, 35, admitted to having been present in the prison's common room, nicknamed "the hut," when Chiolo discussed his plan. Did he take part in the discussions? No one is able to confirm this, but according to the National Police (PNAT), "the emptiness of his answers sometimes made us dizzy." The court sentenced him to 20 years in prison with a two-thirds security period. (...)
Concerning the 4th accused, Yassine Merai, on the run abroad and "terrified at the idea of returning to prison, according to his lawyer Martin Méchin, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with a two-thirds security period, to a socio-judicial monitoring measure for 7 years and to a 10-year ineligibility. (…)
On April 17, 2012, in Montigny-lès-Metz, Roger Tarall's doorbell rang. When he opened the door, the 89-year-old man came face to face with the barrel of a rifle. "If he had been 20, this free-spirited man of character would have punished you!" a lawyer told the Nancy Assize Court. Roger Tarall, a former resistance fighter and survivor of the Dachau concentration camp, was bound and gagged. Michaël Chiolo and two accomplices stole some coins and military medals from him before fleeing. The old man died after two hours of agony.
The trio was arrested and imprisoned. While in custody, Michaël Chiolo took refuge in religion. (…) Michaël Chiolo was sentenced to 28 years in prison. But he decided to appeal. Against the advice of his lawyer (…)
A few days after the attacks of November 13, 2015, inmates at the Mulhouse remand center amused themselves by reenacting a gruesome scene while shouting "Bataclan." They were "trained" by Chiolo, according to the court, which sentenced him to one year in prison for "apology for acts of terrorism."
His appeal trial before the Assize Court in Nancy began less than a month later. The courts once again attempted to define the personality of Michaël Chiolo, a young man initially fascinated by Nazism, who, while in prison, took advantage of his solitary confinement to read the Quran. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. The sentence carried a 20-year security period. “You will mourn your children!” he shouted to the court before being removed from the dock.
