The only person convicted for the September 11, 2001 attacks is a 58-year-old Frenchman who intends to serve his sentence in France. His lawyer filed the request a few days before the 25th anniversary of the bombings that killed nearly three thousand people in the United States.
The lawyer invokes three main reasons to justify the transfer request: the alleged unfairness of the trial, the detention conditions in which his client finds himself, and the Frenchman's family situation.
The article does not specify what sentence was handed down or the details of the trial, but notes that the request comes at a symbolic moment, as the commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the attacks that shook the world approaches.
