VOICED : El Chacal vuelve a juicio

Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, known as Carlos el Chacal, appears in a Paris court for an appeal related to four attacks in France during the 1980s. The trial begins without his lawyers, as Carlos requested their absence due to Venezuela's refusal to cover his defense costs. He seeks court-appointed lawyers. Carlos, a prominent figure in the pro-Palestinian armed struggle in the 1970s, has been imprisoned in France since 1994. He was sentenced to life in 1997 for killing three men in Paris and again in 2011 for attacks between 1982 and 1983, resulting in 11 deaths and 150 injuries. The current trial is an appeal of this verdict. Carlos denies involvement in the attacks but calls himself a professional revolutionary.
