Official Moroccan news agency MAP reported that Yassine Abaaoud, a younger brother of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was convicted of being an apologist for terror and failing to report terror-related crimes.
The court in the city of Sale was not convinced by Abaaoud's argument that he was not an extremist militant and was unaware of his brother's deadly projects.
Authorities have identified Abdelhamid Abaaoud as the ringleader of the November 13 attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead and hundreds wounded. He died in a police raid a few days later.
