During the attack at Findel on October 9, 2000, several staff were shot by Habran’s gang, none died, but in the earlier Belgian raid two security guards were shot dead.
Habran, who has also been linked to a planned raid on Kirchberg’ mall, is thought to have been active in Belgian’s criminal networks for the last 30 years.
Several gangmembers were also convicted at the same trial, including Thierry Dalem, who is accused of murder during an attack on a postal van in 1996.
Both men were recognised as leaders of a criminal organisation. Habran could face up to 25 years in jail."
