Eight men have been convicted over the 2016 Brussels terror attacks that left 32 people dead.

The trial in Brussels lasted seven months and was held in the former headquarters of NATO.

Bombs exploded at Brussels Airport in March 2016 and then on a metro train passing through the city’s European quarter, in attacks claimed by Islamic State.

Fifteen men and 17 women were killed, with more than 300 people injured. The attacks were the deadliest in Belgium since the end of the Second World War.

Six of the accused were found guilty in June 2022 of involvement in terror attacks in Paris in November 2015, which killed 130 people.

One of the group is presumed to have been killed in Syria and was tried in their absence.

The trial is estimated to have cost at least €35 million (£30.2m).

Nearly 1,000 people were represented during the hearings, underscoring how many lives were impacted by the attacks, but now the country has some form of closure.
