Authorities found 23-year-old Ilan Halimi, naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks near railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris. He died on the way to the hospital after being held captive for more than three weeks.
Authorities said 21 of the suspects, including alleged ringleader Youssouf Fofana, would be tried by a youth court, because two of them were minors at the time of the killing in February 2006. Their trial is expected to be held behind closed doors. Eight others will be tried by other courts.

Fofana ,27, was not a minor 2yrs ago. But because the French gov and politicians are beholden to their huge muslim population they can kick aside the Jews. Lets not forget that the French police refused to allow the parents to pay the ransom, saying that it would interfere with their investigation.
They haven’t changed.
